The city of Nashville isn’t called “Music City” for nothing, and throughout the year you’ll find it plays host to everyone from Grammy Award-winning musicians to newbies strumming chords down on Broadway. There are plenty of ticketed shows to attend, but we’d also recommend making room for one of the best public events around Musicians Corner. You’re encouraged to bring a lawn chair if you can because once you grab a cold one and settle in to hear some tunes you won’t want to leave.
Musicians Corner is a Nashville mainstay and remains one of the best-attended outdoor music events in the city. It's free to all, and the public access is made even easier due to its location in Centennial Park.
Traditionally Musicians Corner takes place in both the spring and late summer, and has showcased over 1,500 artists in its tenure. Everyone from Emmylou Harris to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band from New Orleans has played on the hallowed outdoor stage.
Musicians Corner has been operating in the city since 2010 and doesn't show any signs of stopping! The event gives both local and well-known artists a chance to play and also allows for a series of rotating food trucks to set up shop.
Make sure you bring a hungry belly! There are all sorts of food trucks and stands that attend each show, from well-known chains like Bojangles to local ML Rose.
You can also choose to indulge in an adult beverage from the MC Pub. You can snag a thoughtfully crafted cocktail like the vodka-based "Adult Lemonade," or choose to indulge in a cold beer or glass of wine.
Local vendors sell handmade goods at each event as well, so you can shop for unique gifts and crafts during the show. Since the event normally runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., you have plenty of time.
Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for Musicians Corner events during the year's transitional seasons, and don't miss your favorite artists! The list of acts can be found on the event's official website.
If you haven’t made it out to Musicians Corner this season, then you can find out more information either on its official website or Facebook page.
For somewhere a little more removed from the city center, check out the Loveless Cafe, an iconic Nashville staple in the hills west of the city.
