Music City New Year's Eve Bash on Broadway
Join us downtown to ring in the New Year with recently announced headliner Lynyrd Skynyrd, and featured performers Edens Edge, THE FARM and Jeffrey Steele.

Revelers attending Music City's "Bash on Broadway" will count down to a midnight Music Drop®, presented by Grand Avenue that will trigger a fireworks display and major confetti cannons blowing out New Year's wishes. Grand Avenue is the official transportation for Music City's Bash on Broadway – plan ahead for a safe ride home and reserve your car, SUV, or limo today at www.grandavenueworldwide.com.

The confetti cannons, in partnership with the TJ Martell Foundation and sponsored by Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery, will be filled with ‘wishes' and sold to revelers throughout the evening to benefit their "My New Year's Wish" campaign and raise money for cancer research.

We would also like to thank event sponsors Miller Lite, Coors Light, Jack Daniel's, NowPlayingNashville.com, Renaissance Nashville Hotel, GAC, Travelocity, Coca-Cola, Advance Financial and Dick's Last Resort. For more information on the party, visit our website and join us to ring in the new year!

Music City Hitmaker
Congratulations to the newest Music City Hitmaker Joe Mack Treas. Treas is a concierge at the Hilton Nashville Downtown. He was nominated for stellar customer service when he took initiative to find out a birthday guest's favorite dessert (cherry pie) and personally gathered ingredients for the Hilton's chef to prepare it. Treas will receive a $100 gift card to an area restaurant as well as VIP experiences at New Year's Eve and July 4th events in downtown Nashville.
Think a member of your staff can top this? Make sure you've got Music City Hitmakers materials.
