Our pick
Strictly 80's Dance Party
Friday, December 25, 2026 · 9:00 PM · The 5 Spot, East Nashville
The Read
Christmas night is the strangest slot in the Nashville calendar. The obligations are over, most rooms are dark, and everyone left standing is either finished with their relatives or avoiding them. A dance party is the correct programming for that mood — no bill to evaluate, no set to sit through, just a floor and a decade's worth of drum machines. The 5 Spot's dance nights are unpretentious and well attended by people who can actually dance and people who cannot, in about equal number. Expect a crowd in various stages of holiday recovery, a lot of hugging, and Prince at some point. The best available answer to the question of what to do on December 25th after nine.
