Celebrate Nashville Cultural Festival, October 5, 2013
With the Nashville population becoming more diversified, Metro Parks has found a perfect way to increase understanding and encourage appreciation of each other’s differences. Celebrate Nashville is a an avenue for different cultures to share their traditions through music, dance, activities, food, and crafts. The event, held each year in Centennial park, takes place on the first Saturday in October annually. The festival continues to grow and last year saw more than 40,000 people in attendance.
The festival encompasses over 50 cultures that live in Nashville, with opportunties for patrons to experience these cultures through many ways, including a World Market, the Children’s Area, a Teens United Area, the education-focused Global Village, the Artisan Market, the extensive Food Court. The event provides a great opportunity for Nashvillians to meet their neighbor and share traditions. It encourages dialogue and promotes the cross-cultural awareness and understanding so necessary in our communities.
