The Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville, one of the country’s largest and longest-running events of its kind, returns to the Music City Center (201 Rep. John Lewis Way South) January 9–11. Presented by Northern Trust and benefiting Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and Economic Club of Nashville (ECON) Charities, this year’s show will embrace the theme “American Elegance.”
Following a milestone 35th anniversary in 2025 that welcomed more than 17,000 attendees, the 2026 event is aiming to be another memorable experience, featuring over 150 curated antiques, art, and horticulture dealers, immersive garden displays, engaging panels, live music, and special events.

Chairing the 2026 show are longtime friends and creative collaborators Paula Kinard and Phyllis Vandewater, both known for their extensive community involvement and design sensibility.
This year’s keynote speakers are David Lauren and Lauren Bush Lauren, a dynamic duo whose names are synonymous with American fashion, philanthropy, and entrepreneurial spirit. Their conversation will set the tone for a weekend steeped in style, tradition, and inspiration.
Additional programming includes a lecture by acclaimed designer, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Bunny Williams, adding even more star power to the event’s already impressive roster.
