RECAPPING THE FUN!

We sincerely wish to thank everyone who attended BRIGHT NIGHT, Nashville’s most vivid benefit on October 26, 2023. We had so much fun together enjoying the fine art, fashion, cocktails, food, aerialist performance by FALL, and of course, the camaraderie. The hundreds of guests in attendance each made meaningful contributions to help Centennial Park Conservancy’s efforts to sustain the vibrancy of our beloved Park and Parthenon. And wow, did you #wearitbright!

Below are a few of the images from the evening. Relive the fun by exploring the individual shots from photographer Jason Bihler and HiFi Media booth, which are available using the buttons below.
