Nashville Earth Day, the city’s only official annual event to celebrate Earth Day, will return to Centennial Park Bandshell on Saturday, April 18 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Presented in partnership with Urban Green Lab and sustained by Amazon and HCA Healthcare Foundation, this free family-friendly event brings the Nashville community together to celebrate our planet, inspire positive environmental change, and support sustainability in Middle Tennessee. Nashville Earth Day will feature engaging and educational activities from more than 75 exhibitors and vendors, including local growers and makers, nonprofits, sustainable small businesses, state/metro government agencies, and vendor partners.
The event will also include free live music, dynamic Kidsville activities for all ages, and local food vendors. Returning is the popular EarthTalks Tent, which features a diverse lineup of experts providing information about interacting with nature and accessible, actionable sustainable living tips for attendees to apply in their own living spaces, whether it’s a house with a yard or an apartment.
“Nashville Earth Day offers something fun and educational for the whole Nashville Community,” says Justin Branam, Vice President of Programming for Centennial Park Conservancy. “Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts from various environmental initiatives, while enjoying dynamic performances from local musicians, incredible flavors from local food vendors, and Kidsville activities for families.”
“Earth Day is not just another celebration. It’s an important reminder that each of us has a role in protecting and caring for the planet we all share,” said Metro Parks Director Monique Horton Odom. “Our commitment to our mission drives everything we do to help this city and its residents understand that sustainability and conservation are more than passing trends—they are essential values that support health, wellness, and a high quality of life for everyone. By
continuing to build a welcoming and expanding network of parks and greenways, we’re investing in the health and well-being of our community.”
