    The Holiday Village in the heart of Historic Jefferson Street is a festive gathering that captures the holiday spirit. Stalls adorned with twinkling lights offer an array of crafts & seasonal treats, while the sound of caroling fills the air, inviting families to join the celebration.

  • Nashville MLK Day

    The Martin Luther King Day celebration hosted by the Interdenominational Ministers Fellowship (IMF), is one of the nation’s largest and longest running events in honor of Dr. King. Our Week of Events concludes with our Youth Rally, Commemorative March down Historic Jefferson Street, and Annual Convocation.
