Centennial Park Conservancy announced that Musicians Corner, Nashville’s popular free concert series, will celebrate its 15th year this fall with a five-week season of live music in Centennial Park beginning August 29, 2024. The cross-genre free music festival will kick off with a three-day Musicians Corner’s Free Fest in partnership with Lightning 100 from August 29-31, 2024. Musicians Corner will continue every Friday in September from 5-9 p.m., including a special partnership with AMERICANAFEST® on September 20.

“We kicked off our 15th year of Musicians Corner this spring with a phenomenal lineup of artists and a great audience,” said Justin Branam, Executive Producer of Musicians Corner. “We’re excited to continue the celebration in the fall with five more weeks of incredible, genre-bending performances from new and established artists. We’re especially excited to partner with Lightning 100 for Free Fest, a three-day music festival taking place in Centennial Park over Labor Day weekend. As always, all Musicians Corner concerts are free, family-friendly and set against the beautiful backdrop of Centennial Park.”

New this year is Free Fest, a partnership between two longtime ambassadors of Nashville’s live music scene: Lightning 100 and Musicians Corner of the Centennial Park Conservancy. Free Fest continues the tradition of free live music in Music City. This three-day music festival combines Lightning 100’s relationships with indie artists with Musicians Corner’s fan-favorite outdoor concert experience, which has been cultivated in Centennial Park for over 15 years.

“We are grateful to have been able to partner with Centennial Park Conservancy and Musicians Corner and promote the good work they have done for the people of Music City over the past 15 years,” said Dan Buckley, Lightning 100 Program Director. “We are honored to help book this legendary team and work more closely with them than ever before. Events like this are one of the reasons people travel here from all over the world hoping to one day live in Nashville. We truly are the luckiest city on the planet!”

Musicians Corner’s fall series includes performances from 35 artists across multiple genres, including Real Estate, Soccer Mommy, Michigander, Parker Millsap and Birdtalker. The family and pet-friendly festival will continue to bring together an extensive program of the city’s best food vendors, local artisans and Kidsville activities.

On Friday, September 20, 2024, Musicians Corner will once again partner with AMERICANAFEST®. The special concert will give the Nashville community the opportunity to see official AMERICANAFEST® showcases for free.
