Working in Nashville’s Five Points neighborhood at Center 615 is an amazing way to see what the east side of the city has to offer. And what better time to experience this area than during the fall? Here are some of the best things to do and see in the neighborhood that surrounds Center 615’s coworking and office campus this colorful time of year.
Fall Events and Seasonal Shopping
There are a number of autumn events around the Five Points neighborhood in East Nashville, from Halloween parties to fall-themed pop-up bars. There’s a bit of everything in Nashville, and Center 615 is close to the action. There are tons of fall markets and pumpkin patches in and around the city, but the closest one to C615 is the East Nashville Farmers’ Market. While the market goes on from April to December every year, it’s especially fun to visit in the fall. Pumpkins, apples, cider donuts, and other fall treats are all on display here every Tuesday from 3:30 to 6:30 PM. The market is just a short walk from Center 615’s campus, so you can head over after work or before you drop into the office and take in the sights and sounds of fall while supporting local Nashville farmers and small business owners. Grabbing organic fruits and vegetables from local farmers is just one of the awesome fall activities you can find right here in Nashville, so let’s explore what else you can do here.
Center 615 is also home to the nearby Five Points Alley Shops—a dozen stores brought together in a conveniently walkable collection. Here you can shop for unique gifts and take in the crisp fall air. Just a five-minute stroll from Center 615’s main campus, you can find shops like Defunct Books, one of Nashville’s most extensive and interesting collections of used books. You’re sure to find something unique and rare here if that’s what you’re looking for!
Reading some classic literature in one of East Nashville’s public parks with a cup of coffee while taking in the changing leaves should be on your autumn bucket list, too. Other shops include Tertiary Sight, an aura photography studio and magical goods shop that is sure to provide you with some insight into your mystical side. Alegria Gifts is a shop devoted to high-quality gifts and fine leather goods (with a healthy dose of seasonal flair this time of year). Looking for something to do with the little ones in your life? Fairytales Bookstore is another excellent shop here in the Five Points Alley Shops that is full of children’s books, toys, arts and crafts, and more. And if you’re not in the mood for retail therapy, you can hit up Meliora Movement for some pilates and other ways to enrich your body. No matter your level of experience with pilates or yoga, Meliora Movement is a great place to get moving this fall.
Shopping Nashville isn’t all you can do in the vicinity of Center 615, so let’s highlight a few fall events you can expect. If you’re looking for something fun and spooky to do and love Nashville’s vibrant nightlife, why not head over to APOTHECA. A Halloween pop-up event hosted by Sidebar, this immersive event experience features a number of signature cocktails that are all sure to thrill and impress. The ambiance here cannot be beaten, so get ready for a frighteningly good time every day in October after 5 PM. Buy tickets in advance, because this event will often sell out. This really cool bar experience is just a short drive from Center 615’s coworking campus in East Nashville, so don’t worry about a long commute for your after-work drinks.
While this next one is a bit of a drive, it’s a yearly event that you need to get to at least once as a Nashville resident. Twenty minutes from C615, the Ghost Tours at The Hermitage are a spooky seasonal activity for history and thrill seekers. Andrew Jackson’s birthplace at The Hermitage is rich in historical significance and paranormal experiences. Nightly ghost tours led by lantern light are sure to be a highlight of your Halloween season this year.

We recommend coming on an empty stomach because their simple but stuffed menu is sure to whet your appetite. Five Points Pizza is a local staple serving pizza by the slice and whole pies. Lunch specials at Five Points Pizza are popular among everyone at Center 615 for the price point and excellent quality.
