NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Dog Nights of Summer start at Cheekwood this Thursday!
What exactly is a dog night?
Every Thursday in August, you can bring your dogs to Cheekwood Estate and Gardens for treats catered to four-legged friends.
This includes special drinks stations, local vendors with treats and clothes for pooches, live music and more. The only requirement is that your dogs stay on leash.
It's every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and you can reserve tickets online or grab them when you get there. Don't worry, there's treats for humans, too.

I always say storytelling is a team sport, and a key part of the NewsChannel 5 team is our photojournalists. They are nationally recognized for their talents, more importantly, they are also great people. Enjoy this peek behind the lens, get to know them, and see some of their most notable work of 2025!
