The Grand Ole Opry is often the scene of artist events and celebrations, but it recently held its own No. 1 party to celebrate its latest achievement — being named travel planning and booking site TripAdvisor’s top U.S. attraction for Spring 2017. The celebration, held last Tuesday night (May 2), included Rascal Flatts and other artists on the night’s show and other guests including fans taking Opry House Backstage Tours.
The number one distinction is based on year-over-year search activity on TripAdvisor and marks increase in traveler interest. Among the artists playing the Opry in the coming weeks are Trace Adkins, Kelsea Ballerini, The Charlie Daniels Band, Crystal Gayle, Chris Janson, Dustin Lynch, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Charley Pride, and Blake Shelton.
