SUMMARY:The 22nd Annual Greenway Art Festival
DESCRIPTION:Local artists line the greenway trail at Old Fort Park for the 22nd year\, showing and selling original work – oils and watercolours\, pottery\, textiles\, metal\, glass and jewellery. Everything on display is made by the artist standing next to it; no kit work or mass-produced stock is allowed in. Run by the Cultural Arts side of the city's parks department\, it is an easy six-hour window to drop into\, and the trail setting means children can move while you browse.

SUMMARY:Hike with Jane: Fall Wildflowers at Barfield Crescent Park
DESCRIPTION:Late September is when the cedar glades around Barfield Crescent Park put on their fall show\, and the Wilderness Station runs a naturalist-led walk to catch it. An hour on the trail\, learning what is blooming and why this particular patch of Middle Tennessee grows things that grow almost nowhere else. \nIt is an easy pace and a short loop\, which makes it workable for grade-schoolers and for anyone who would rather identify plants than cover distance. Bring a phone or a notebook if your kids like to keep a list. \nWhen: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.\nWhere: Wilderness Station at Barfield Crescent Park\, 401 Volunteer Road\, Murfreesboro\nCost: Contact the Wilderness Station — 615-217-3017 \nWear closed shoes; the glade trails are rocky and uneven. Call ahead if the forecast looks unsettled.

DESCRIPTION:Tiny TEC is designed squarely for the two-to-four crowd\, which is a harder age to program for than most people realize.

SUMMARY:Pajama Story Time at Smyrna Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Every Wednesday evening\, Smyrna Public Library runs stories\, games and crafts — in pajamas. All ages welcome\, and the pajamas are not optional so much as strongly encouraged. \nThe 6 p.m. slot is the useful bit. It is one of the few library programs in the county that a working parent can actually get to without taking an afternoon off\, and it lands close enough to bedtime that the drive home does half your work for you. \nWhen: Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026\, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\nWhere: Smyrna Public Library\nAges: All ages\nCost: Free. \nBring a favorite stuffed animal. Enough children do that it has effectively become part of the program.

SUMMARY:Sandbox: Tween and Teen Creative Club
DESCRIPTION:Sandbox is deliberately unstructured\, and that is its strength. Young creatives aged 10 to 17 bring whatever they are working on — journals\, sketchbooks\, devices\, Kandi supplies\, anything — and get two hours to work on it near other people doing the same. \nFor a kid whose creative work is currently a solitary bedroom activity\, sitting in a room with other people who take it seriously is the whole value. \nWhen: Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026\, 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.\nAges: 10 to 17\nCost: Free. \nOne thing to check before you drive over: library renovations are underway\, so confirm the room and location with the library on the day.
