Cheekwood's Japanese Moon Viewing Festival returns for its 12th year, honoring the Harvest Moon in the tradition of Otsukimi. It is the kind of standing date that Nashville's quieter set circles on the calendar year after year, a gathering built around a single, unhurried pleasure: watching the moon rise over the grounds. Twelve years in, it has become one of those Cheekwood fixtures that needs no introduction to the people who show up for it.
