Centennial Park Conservancy announced Musicians Corner, Nashville’s free concert series, is returning this spring for its 16th year with five weeks of live music in Centennial Park, kicking off May 16. The multi-genre series will showcase a variety of performers at 11 concerts over the course of five weeks. Musicians Corner will take place every Friday from 5 – 9 p.m. and Saturday from 12 – 6 p.m. from May 16 to June 14, with a special Sunday performance over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25).
“We’re thrilled to welcome the community back to Centennial Park for another season of Musicians Corner,” said Justin Branam, Executive Producer of Musicians Corner. “For over 15 years, Musicians Corner has remained a free, family-friendly event that celebrates Nashville’s vibrant and eclectic music scene. It’s an honor to provide a platform that not only showcases legendary and up-and-coming talent but also supports local artists with meaningful paid performance opportunities. Whether you’re coming to see a favorite band or hoping to discover a new sound, Musicians Corner is the perfect way to spend a weekend in the park with friends and family.”
Musicians Corner’s spring lineup will feature multi-genre performances from artists including Valerie June, Noah Gundersen & His Band, Cut Worms, and the Nashville Symphony. The 2025 Spring Series kicks off on May 16 and May 17 with performances from SUSTO Stringband, Jonny Fritz featuring Joshua Hedley, LadyCouch, and more.
The spring series also includes the return of Musicians Corner’s three-day Memorial Day Weekend with performances Friday, May 23 from 5 – 9 p.m., Saturday, May 24 from 12 – 6 p.m., and Sunday, May 25 from 12 – 6 p.m. The special event is made possible with support from the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, and will feature performances by Brittney Spencer, Sixpence None The Richer, North Mississippi Allstars, and more.
More artists are slated to be announced later this month, including the Lightning 100 Stage lineup which will feature 24 local emerging artists of varying genres. In addition to live music, each event will also feature artisan vendors, craft beer, wine, and cocktails, a variety of local food trucks, Kidsville activities, and featured community partners.
Musicians Corner will also return August 29th for its annual Fall Series with events each Friday evening through September 26th, including the return of FREE FEST, in partnership with Lightning 100, over Labor Day Weekend (August 29-31) and a special event in conjunction with AMERICANAFEST on Friday, September 12.
