Annual Events Tips Fans of The Blair Witch Project may be interested to know that Middle Tennessee has its own legend, the Bell Witch. It started in 1818 when John Bell and his family were reportedly tormented by strange noises in and near their house in Adams, Tennessee, about 40 miles north of Nashville. These days, some people claim they still see ghostly images and hear eerie noises. Every January, Metro's Department of Public Works' Trees to Trails program recycles thousands of Christmas trees.
Trees are chipped and spread along area hiking trails.
Be sure to recycle your tree. You can find designated tree drop-offs at parks throughout Nashville. The Italian Street Fair, a four-day celebration in Centennial Park each September, features Italian food, music, crafts and games for the whole family.
