If you haven’t been to Church Street Park lately, you’re in for a treat. The revitalized park — which reopened in 2021 after nearly a year of renovations — is bringing new life to the downtown core with free events happening daily.
To kick off its summer activities, Nashville Downtown Partnership is hosting a Church Street Park Open House — a free, all-day event giving locals a taste of everything that brings the community together at the park: food, art, music, yoga, kids activities, and (of course) our furry friends.
Fun fact: Daily programming is funded by Amazon to activate this local gem.
Church Street Park Open House
From 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, June 17, the public is invited to an open house, featuring:
- Yoga: Been thinking of trying yoga-in-the-park? Enjoy hourly class samplings by instructors who regularly host morning and evening yoga sessions.
- Kids Zone: Let the kids be kids with arts, crafts, balloon artists, sidewalk chalk + more. Bonus: Be there by 10 a.m. for a 30-minute Music & Movement Story Time by the Nashville Public Library.
- Art: Tap into your creative side at the Arts & Crafts table, featuring painting, souvenir-making, and more.
- Pets: Dogs need socializing, too. Bring your pup for treats + giveaways while getting to know other pup-parents.
- Music + Food: Enjoy live music and local eats throughout the day.
