Music Row Happy Hour FAQs
Where is the Music Row Happy Hour located?
- Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Downtown Nashville: 322 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37201.
What time does the Happy Hour begin and end?
- For CMA week, the Music Row Happy Hour event hours extend to 12–7pm CST, Thursday through Sunday (June 8–11), and doors open at 11am.
Are reservations or tickets required? Can I get a table?
- No reservations or tickets are required, but as a heads up, there is usually a line. The Music Row Happy Hour is first come, first served (therefore, entry is not guaranteed), but you might want to line up outside Margaritaville early if you’d like to try to get a table.
How do I get on the air?
The best way to get on the air is to fill out a card that we provide on-site and tell us about your group and experience. Keep in mind that showing up early or bringing gifts does not increase your chances of being on the air. There are no guarantees, as on-air opportunities are limited.
Can I bring gifts?
- You do not need to bring gifts, although they are appreciated; you’re not guaranteed to give Buzz the gift on the air.
I cannot make it to the Happy Hour, but is it possible to still send Buzz a patch?
- Yes! Our mailing address is 501 Broadway #600 Nashville, TN 37203.
Where can we share updates from the Happy Hour and relive the experience later?
- Keep an eye on The Highway’s socials for updates, pictures, and videos of the Music Row Happy Hour. Tag us and use #MRHH in your posts!
