the city’s most historic, landmark and unique venues. In selecting locations,
organizers sought places that would showcase the city’s diverse and distinctive
venues and provide Nashville Fashion Week guests with opportunities to see
these places in creative, new ways.
On opening night, Tuesday, March 29, the venue will be in the private event
space on the 22nd floor of the Pinnacle at Symphony Place with 360-degree
views of the city. On Wednesday, March 30, the runway shows will take place in
Nashville’s historic downtown Arcade, built in 1902 as the city’s first shopping
center. On Thursday night, March 31, the event moves across the river to East
Nashville where runway shows will be staged in the Crystal Fountain Church,
1003 Russell Street. The neo-classical 1925 War Memorial auditorium is the
venue for Friday, April 1. On Saturday, April 2, Nashville Fashion Week returns to
the Pinnacle with a different look, set-up and staging, but with the same
spectacular views of the city. At each venue, Nashville Fashion Week sponsor,
Big Events, is overseeing all production design.
