Artville

Artville is a free annual visual arts festival that celebrates Nashville's creative spirit across three days at Walk of Fame Park in downtown Nashville. The event features public art installations, contemporary artwork, murals, and immersive experiences designed to showcase local artistic talent and culture. Families can explore the grounds, discover new artists, and take in the vibrant atmosphere that draws thousands of visitors each weekend to the downtown area. In addition to visual art, Artville includes the American Artisan Festival, a Nashville tradition spanning more than 50 years. The festival offers kids and family activities, live music, and entertainment throughout the weekend. If your family gets hungry while exploring, Bar Mar by José Andrés—located just under a mile away at the W Nashville—serves as the official dining destination. Best of all, admission to Artville itself is completely free, making it an accessible way for families to experience Nashville's art scene together.
