Visitors to Nashville’s Tomato Art Fest this weekend can expect warm, mostly sunny skies, perfect for enjoying the festival’s outdoor art, music, and food. Temperatures will climb into the low 90s on both Saturday and Sunday, with only a slight risk for showers, meaning the weather will likely not interfere with the festivities.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, Saturday will see highs ranging from 82°F to 92°F, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 60s. Sunday will be slightly warmer, topping out between 84°F and 93°F, with a minimal 10–20% chance of afternoon showers or isolated thunderstorms. These showers, if they occur, are expected to be brief and scattered, meaning they won’t likely cause widespread disruptions to the event.
However, high humidity and hot pavement may make it feel warmer, so festival-goers are advised to stay hydrated and take breaks in shaded areas. Roads around East Nashville, particularly near the festival, could experience heavier pedestrian traffic, so drivers are encouraged to slow down and watch for crosswalks to ensure safety.
Looking ahead to early next week, rain chances will gradually increase, but the sunshine will remain the main story for the weekend. Any showers that do occur on Sunday are expected to be brief and isolated, ensuring that most of the festival will remain dry and enjoyable for attendees.
For those attending the Tomato Art Fest, it’s a great weekend to embrace the vibrant atmosphere, while being mindful of the heat and staying cool throughout the event.
