After silencing the music to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nashville is starting to raise the volume again. SAFELY. As the economic engine of the greater Nashville region and heart of Music City, downtown is ready.

 

Nashville remains in a modified Phase 2 with some important changes effective September 18:

• Facial coverings required
• Restaurants and bars close at 11:00 pm
• Restaurants can offer service at 50% capacity; max 6 guests/table
• Limited Service Restaurants and bars can offer service at 50% capacity or 50 guests per floor (whichever is fewer). Max 50 guests outdoor
• Call ahead for details

On this journey we are ALL responsible for creating a safe neighborhood and ensuring that we do not lose our hard-earned progress of reopening.

 

As we move through the phases of reopening our economy safely, the Nashville Downtown Partnership is here to be a resource, a sounding board, a champion for your business.  

We are amplifying our DOWNTOWN SAFE + STRONG and ask for your participation. This recovery campaign serves all of us:

• For businesses, it conveys a sense of solidarity and pride while we reopen safely;

• For those who live, work or play downtown, it is a reminder that the heart of the city is strong, and we ALL share the responsibility of creating a safe neighborhood so we don’t lose our hard-earned progress of reopening.
