NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — WeGo Public Transit will operate a special event train Saturday, June 6, from Lebanon to downtown Nashville for the CMA Fest concert at Nissan Stadium.
WeGo said 380 tickets are available to the general public. Round-trip tickets cost $15, plus a $2 processing fee, and must be purchased with a credit card. Tickets will not be sold on station platforms.

Children ages 4 and younger may ride without a ticket but must sit on a parent or guardian’s lap. Children ages 5 and older will need a ticket.

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital.
