"Let the sunshine of August inspire you to shine your brightest!"
The summer is quickly slipping away... but don't panic! We still have A LOT of fun in store for August that you won't want to miss.
We're VERY excited that while slightly out of our control, August will be sandwiched by two of our FAVORITE annual events. We'll float into August with our rescheduled annual float trip! And then we'll wrap up August with our annual Family picnic! Don't forget to mark your calendars, and stay tuned for a mid-month update all about the Picnic and how you can join us for an afternoon of family-friendly fun and community.
We hope that you'll join us for one or both of these events...but somewhere in between, we'll still be hitting up Love & Exile and playing games at Homegrown Taproom!
We're excited to see you out and about

MIX Tubes The Harpeth River - FINAL RESCHEDULE
Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM CDT
We've rescheduled this event...again..and its now scheduled for our pre-scheduled alternate date of August 22nd, 2026 This will be the *LAST* time we attempt to schedule this event for this year, so if we can't make the 22nd work, we'll just be cancelling the event and refunding all tickets. As it was last time, all tickets purchased for the original date of July 25th and/or August 1st have been updated and will be honored on August 22nd; if you need a refund for any reason, please reach out to events@mixnash.co, and we'll get that processed ASAP.
************
One of our most beloved events we throw every year is making its annual return this year - floating down the Harpeth River on river tubes with Sunshine's Adventures!
The trip, which will launch at 11:00 AM SHARP on August 22, 2026 will consist of up to 25 of us, all lashed together (with five extra tubes to hold our items and coolers) where we'll lazily float down the river while we talk, yell, imbibe, laugh, debate, swim and generally have a fantastic time together.
This event is a full five to six hours - there are no off-ramps, so clear your day. Take the day off work, send the kids to the grandparents for the day (or overnight if you can), and just clear the time. (We promise - the effort will be worth it.)
Each ticket is $60, and this gets you:
Your tube;
Life Vest;
Paddle (Optional); and
A ride back to your car at the end.
You should bring:
Proper outdoor attire: no cotton or denim
Sun protection: sunscreen, UPF clothing, hats, etc
Foot protection: Crocs, clogs, closed-toed water shoes, etc
Hydration preference: bring plenty, both actual drinking water and whatever libation you might enjoy most?
Snacks or picnics in water-tight containers
Towel and/or dry clothes to leave in your car
We'll make sure there are trash bags for any garbage we'll need to pack out, as well as a cooler or two and some ice for you to stow your tasty beverages (of whatever kind you'd like) while we float.
Any questions? If so, reach out to us at admin@mixnash.co !
BOOKING FOR THIS EVENT WILL CLOSE AT 5PM ON August 20th, 2026 SO WE CAN GET PAYMENT TO OUR GUIDE COMPANY.
