Nashville’s Music City Center is Home to WordCamp US 2017

Nashville is hosting WordCamp US, y’all. We are excited to announce that WordCamp US 2017 will take place at the phenomenal Music City Center. Even though this venue is just 4-years-old, it has already made its mark as an amazing destination center.

Music City Center is able to boast its 2.1 million square foot presence in the heart of Nashville. It’s the perfect site for everything from intimate bridal shows to massive comic conventions. With its downtown location, visitors find themselves just steps away from Nashville’s many offerings.

In addition to hosting events, Music City Center is the host to public artwork. The center represents over 50 artists and displays with over 100 pieces of eye-catching artwork. The art pieces include a mixture of paintings, suspended pieces, new media, mosaics, and light works that can be observed throughout the building.

There are many attractions within walking distance of Music City Center. Highlights include the popular:  Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Johnny Cash Museum, Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and Bridgestone Arena.

A couple of bus stops or a short cab ride away are attractions like Centennial Park with its Parthenon showpiece, Vanderbilt University, and the world famous Grand Ole Opry.

All you foodies out there won’t be disappointed. Whether you’re looking for something high-end to good, old-fashioned home cooking, there’s a place for you. Withing walking distance of Music City are a variety of eateries to explore including: Etch, The Southern Steak & Oyster, Bakersfield Tacos, Merchants, and more. Just a short cab ride away is the Germantown section of Nashville which is home to one of the hottest rising destination food scenes in the US.
