Partner with the Italian Lights Festival
with our Local Business Sponsorships!
The Italian Lights Festival returns this August 18-21, four days celebrating the food, wine, music & traditions of Italy. In 2017, our festival culminates in the spectacular finale of Great American Eclipse, which passes over Nashville on Monday, August 21st. This is the first time in 500 years that a total eclipse will pass through North America, and Nashville is the largest city in the USA in the path of totality.
NASHVILLE’S EVENT OF THE YEAR!
OVER 1 MILLION TOURISTS are expected to flood Nashville for the Eclipse event, and Italian Lights will be the biggest free event in the city! The festival has been extended to 4 days to accommodate the Solar Eclipse events and crowds. As an official NASA Viewing Location for the Eclipse, the crowds this year will be record-breaking.
Join us as we celebrate the Sights and Sounds of Italy… with a once in a lifetime Grand Finale: our Music City Eclipse Viewing Event on August 21st, the largest in Eclipse Party in Nashville!
