EVENTS | Nashville — If you prefer shopping crafts markets and boutiques over big box retailers then you might want to check out Crafty Nashville at Track One in Nashville on November 9.

The event features over 70 area artisans selling everything … local art, handmade clothing, jewelry, Tennessee-themed items, soy wax candles, crocheted items, handmade soaps and lotions, sculptures, home ware items, pet items, gourmet foods, as well as vintage and repurposed items.

There will also be kid’s activities, food trucks, and live music. Leashed dogs are welcome. The event is free but organizer ask those attending to consider donating new or gently-used shoes for Soles4Souls. The organization collects new and gently-worn shoes, which are donated to both people in need of short-term help, disaster relief, as well as supporting micro-enterprises in Haiti, Central America, and parts of Africa.
