Nashville’s Juneteenth Moves to Centennial Park

Nashville’s Juneteenth celebration is moving to Centennial Park this year for the first time since 2018, due to major renovations at Fort Negley Park — a historic Civil War site built by Black laborers. The event kicks off at 4:45 p.m. on June 19 with music, dance, historians, local Black-owned businesses, and a speech from Mayor Freddie O’Connell, culminating in a dazzling fireworks show. While Fort Negley’s transformation includes new parking, restored driveways, and improved accessibility, Centennial Park offers nearby parking options — though some may be affected by construction. It’s a vibrant, community-driven night honoring freedom, culture, and resilience under the Nashville sky. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
