Cruising Centennial Park

Celebrate Pride Month in Nashville with a 1-mile LGBTQ+ walking tour of Centennial Park, led by local queer historian Sarah Calise, the founder and director of Nashville Queer History and curator of Community Histories for Vanderbilt Libraries. Featuring eight tour stops, we'll explore subjects like queer women in the suffrage movement, cruising culture, queer music history, the Civil War, Pride protests, and more.
