For 615 Day, Turnbull will be offering its famous cinnamon roll paired with a coffee for $6.15 while supplies last.

Fred & Mary’s Home - This colorful and charming homewares shop is laid out like a real home, and everything is for sale from the lights on the ceiling to the rugs on the floor.

Afternoon
LL Burns Park - Bringing the kids with you? Take a break from the eating and shopping to visit the playground and the (free!) splash pad at LL Burns Park. The track is great for biking, running, or walking. You can play frisbee golf or bring your rod and catch some fish at the park’s pond or on the bank of the Harpeth River.
Harpeth River State Park - This 615 Day, we’re partnering with Friends of the Harpeth River State Park to offer a 615 Day hike with Park Ranger Kevin Markuson at Mound Bottom State Archaeological Area at 10 a.m. The cost to reserve your spot will be donated to Friends of the Harpeth River State Park. If you’d rather dip your toes in the water, head to Tip-A-Canoe or Foggy Bottom to rent canoes and kayaks. They’ll deal with the boats and the paddles, you bring the snacks and the good vibes!
The Yorkshire Deli - Speaking of snacks, you can’t miss Kingston Springs’ farm-to-table meets British tea room! You’ll be transported with their authentic baked treats and gorgeous al fresco table settings.
