If you were born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, or 2010 — 2022 is your year. Today marks the start of the Lunar New Year, celebrated by Asian countries + around the world (technically, we’re 24 hours behind the Eastern Hemisphere, so celebrations began yesterday).

Did you know? Each year on the lunar calendar is represented by one of twelve animals — on a twelve year cycle — and 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. The Tiger is said to represent strength, power, and bravery — and Tiger years are said to be a time of big changes through risk-taking and adventure. 🐅

If the mention of “big changes” makes you a bit uncomfortable, you’re not alone. While change isn’t always easy, we’re here to help make this year’s adventures and risk-taking a bit more fun.

Channel your inner Tiger + put your strength to the test at SOAR Adventure Tower. Take your walks through the new Northwest Family YMCA community space up a notch by utilizing the free exercise equipment. Want to flex those mental muscles? Attend a trivia night at Hopsmith Tavern or try your hand at Trapped Escape Game.

There’s nothing quite like the bravery you feel while facing your fears. If you’re looking for some more daunting tasks, see Music City from a birds eye view by booking a helicopter tour with Helistar Aviation, keep everyone laughing during Nashville Improv, or serenade strangers at WannaB’s Karaoke inside Tequila Cowboy.

And, if you’re really looking to test the limits, head on over to the Legendairy Milkshake Bar to try the famous Gallon Challenge. If your name ends up all over their social media, don’t forget about your pals at NASHtoday in all your newly-found fame.
