Celebrating Women’s History Month in Nashville
March is Women’s History Month — a time to honor the vital role women play in our community, history, and economy.
From the women who helped secure the right to vote to the chefs, entrepreneurs, and creators shaping Nashville today, Music City has long been influenced by remarkable women.

Honoring Our Past
Nashville’s downtown community is honoring Women’s History Month with Suffrage Sundays, a free weekly event series held every Sunday in March at Church Street Park (600 Church St.).
The programming connects the city’s pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement — especially as the place where Tennessee cast the decisive vote to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1920 — with contemporary arts, wellness, and storytelling.
