The Festival

For 2009 Plans, please visit NEWS

The Nashville Buddhist Festival is usually held in the fall of the year, just as the air becomes crisp and the days balmy. We meet under an open-air tent in a green space in back of First Church Unity, 5125 Franklin Road. A variety of speakers and practices are presented, along with movement to break up the day. Inside, each participating center hosts an information table. Commemorative t-shirts and dharma items are available.

Bring a cushion or lawnchair for sitting. Food is not available on-site, but a spacious lawn for bring-your-own picnicking is adjacent to the festival grounds.

The 2008 festival was held Saturday, October 4, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The program can be downloaded by clicking here.

Plans for 2009 will be under discussion in the coming weeks. To stay up to date on the latest news, sign up for our email list.
