This weekend, October 11th and 12th, City Farmhouse owners David and Kim Leggett will host the first-ever City Farmhouse Pop-up Barn Show on the banks of the Harpeth River. The event, which is slated to host a wealth of curated vintage, antique, and artisan vendors, will also feature live musical performances, special guests, and two days of DIY demonstrations that will cover home styling, cooking and more.
“Barn shows are a trendy, grassroots approach for bringing together sellers of antique and vintage, artisans of handmade goods, musicians, guest speakers and demonstrations, along with popular shelter magazines for an event that caters to a wide range of collectors, designers, and DIY decorators,” Kim Leggett said. The show will take place within and surrounding a remodeled replica of a 19th century tobacco barn. The upscale location is the center of a privately owned property known as Idyll By The River Farm, located at 3160 Del Rio Pike.
The historical significance of the land lies at the property’s end at a point known as the “Meeting of the Waters.” It is at this spot that the West and Big Harpeth Rivers join. “The setting is a defining attraction to the high profile event that will compound the unique collaborations among vintage vendors, music aficionados, and culinary fans,” Leggett said. “It’s an event that celebrates creative talents across several industries, yet with a common interest. The bringing together of those talents in a unique setting creates a festival like atmosphere for show goers.”
The two-day event has drawn vendors from 18 states, from as far away as Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New York. The pop-up show will take place on Friday, Oct. 11 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets for early buying are $35 and regular admission is $8 per day or $12 for the weekend.
