The Music City Center is Nashville’s convention center located in the heart of downtown, surrounded by numerous hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Located adjacent to the Bridgestone Arena and the Country Music Hall of Fame, there is plenty to do outside our doors! The 2.1 million square foot facility opened in 2013 and was built so that Nashville could host large, city-wide conventions in the downtown area.
