2022 SHOWS
We will be opening the Opry building back up for weekly shows beginning Saturday, April 23rd. Our seats had to be removed and destroyed. Until we buy new seating, we are asking everyone to continue bringing lawn chairs just as you did last summer for the outdoor shows. The doors will open at 5:00 and the show will begin at 7:00. The concession stand will be open.
