Music City Puppy Bowl

It’s game day at Nashville Zoo! Get ready for an un-fur-gettable day as we team up with Nashville Humane Association for the Music City Puppy Bowl. Adoptable puppies will hit the field for the big game that will feature tail-wagging touchdowns and the chance to welcome a new furry friend into your home!

Enjoy good tunes, learn more about the Nashville Humane Association, visit with local pet friendly businesses, and witness the cutest game in town! This event is included with general admission or membership.

Music City Puppy Bowl takes place at the Ajax Turner Wild Works Amphitheater from 10 AM - 2 PM, with a noon game kickoff. Our two adorable teams will battle it out on the turf to see who reaches their end zone enough times to take home the 2025 trophy. 

Partners will be on-site throughout the afternoon to talk about local pet-friendly activities, adoption opportunities, and the importance of spaying & neutering. Guests can meet our adoptable 2025 athletes and learn about other adoptable pets available at the Nashville Humane Association headquarters. Enjoy drinks from TailGate Brewery and Nashville Sweet Tea Company—two local favorites pouring up the fun! (21+ ID required for alcoholic samples.) Mix 92.9 will be our guest referees, commentating live throughout the event.
