The Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation and Scarritt-Bennett Center are partnering to bring the annual Celebration of Cultures festival to Nashville for its 13th year. This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3 at Centennial Park. 

Celebration of Cultures, a free event that aims to bring people together to celebrate the cultural diversity of our community, was named by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast for fall 2009. Last year, 28,000 people attended the festival, making it the largest one-day attendance number in the event’s history.

This year’s festival will showcase the dance, music, visual arts, cuisine and traditions of more than 40 cultures through the Global Village, World Market, children’s area and food area. Entertainment will be provided on five different stages throughout the park.

New to the festival this year will be an area exclusively for teens called TEENS UNITED!. In partnership with Oasis Center, TEENS UNITED! is being organized by a group of local teens from 10 different countries, including Palestine, Ethiopia, Haiti and Sudan.

Parking: There will be plenty of extra parking in the HCA lots across from the north side of the park. Best route is Charlotte Pike (heading towards town) then right on 25th. Just go straight, and you'll see us!

      Awesome event. Plenty space to roam between the booths. Lot's of live music/entertainment. Nice mix of vendors. Only down side was lack of enough restrooms.
