After a long spring and an even longer two years of canceled events, Nashvillians are excited to get outdoors and back to our usual summer traditions, many of which include supporting nonprofits. The creativity of our local organizations is a point of pride for the city, and some of the events they’ve created have found their way into our hearts. We’ve got late nights at the zoo and plenty of outdoor concerts (this is Music City, after all), from opera to bluegrass and Americana, to add to your summer plans.

Musicians Corner, Centennial Park Conservancy

One of Nashville’s most anticipated and beloved events in the heart of Music City is Musicians Corner at Centennial Park. Each summer, the Centennial Park Conservancy welcomes a phenomenal lineup of artists, both new and legendary. Concerts in the past have included Emmylou Harris, Chris Stapleton, The Blind Boys of Alabama and so many more. This year’s lineup features John Paul White, Adia Victoria, Tré Burt, the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and other familiar acts. While the shows are a celebration of Nashville’s music culture and are free, they’re also a fantastic way to help the Conservancy raise funds to continue its incredible improvements throughout the park by encouraging donations and auctioning memorabilia and experiences from the stars who also support Musicians Corner. Every concert is family-friendly and offers activities and more at Kidsville. And The MC Pub serves up beer, wine and cocktails for enjoying while listening to the music. Musicians Corner takes place from 5-9 p.m. on Fridays and from 12-6 p.m. on Saturdays in June. For more information and to see the upcoming lineups, visit musicianscornernashville.com.
