Downtown & the Gulch
Glossy plaques honor songwriters and musicians who have made significant contributions to the Nashville music scene. Give a nod to Kid Rock, say howdy to Dolly and snap a photo next to Johnny Cash. Check the website for upcoming induction ceremonies – artists are likely to attend.
The park is across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame.
