UT Southern Athletics: What to do when you're in town for the Game

With a full calendar of sports that keeps students, alumni, and fans cheering from the stands, UT Southern Athletics brings energy to Pulaski all year long. From clay shooting to cross country, the Firehawks are always putting in the work and making their community proud. Catching a game is the perfect excuse to explore all that Pulaski has to offer on and off the court.

If you're rolling into town hungry, you have plenty of options. Grab a bite at Kitchen 218 where they have a brand new menu, full bar, and some seriously stunning seasonal desserts. Storybrook Farms Eatery is another local favorite, serving beautiful dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. You can also check out Big Creek Winery just across I-65 for a taste of locally made wine and a mid-day break.

The fun doesn't stop at food and drinks. Historic Downtown Pulaski is also full of boutique shops worth browsing while you're in town. Browse women's clothes and accessories at She Blooms, dive into collectables at Kayfabe Cave, update your wardrobe at The Outlook, or find thoughtful gifts and decor at Willow + Reed.

If you're dreading a long trek home or looking for a getaway from fast-living and full calendars, Pulaski makes it easy to slow down and stay a while. Book a cozy Airbnb or stay at the Hampton Inn Pulaski in town, either way, you're just minutes from the action with plenty of time to explore everything Giles County has to offer.

History and architecture lovers will want to tour the stunning 25,000-square-foot Milky Way Farm Manor House, once home to candy magnate Frank Mars. Tours are by reservation only, so plan ahead. If you're looking to venture even further, head to Lynnville where you can enjoy a craft spirit tasting at Big Machine Distillery, browse the iconic leather shop at Colonel Littleton, or grab a famous burger and milkshake at Soda Pop Junction.

Whatever your schedule is, plan to eat well, shop smart, and meet some genuinely kind people. Pulaski and the surrounding communities serve up plenty of reasons to extend your stay. You might even find your new favorite spot!
