Mayor's First Day Festival
The Mayor's First Day Festival is held in August at the Sommet Center and features free activities for students and their parents. Business contributions and in-kind donations underwrite the costs of the event.
By encouraging member businesses to host activity booths or donate money in support of the event, and by hosting their own activity booth for students, the Nashville Area Chamber has been a leading participant in the festival since its inception. The Chamber's education department is partnering with Mayor Karl Dean's Office of Children and Youth to produce the ninth annual Mayor's First Day Festival.
The Festival to kick off the 2008-2009 school year will be Sunday, Aug. 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Sommet Center, 501 Broadway.
Businesses are invited to organize volunteer teams, present a booth or provide entertainment at the Festival to show support for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
