The fifth annual William Edmondson Arts and Culture Festival honors an artist who not nearly enough Nashvillians even know existed, takes place in the yard of the artist’s long-gone house, and vibes like the coolest family reunion you’ve ever been to — even if you don’t know most of the people there. The food is good. The music is fun to dance to. The booths are full of interesting arts and crafts. And it still feels like a neighborhood event. This can’t last. Everything cool in Nashville eventually becomes too crowded to be any fun. But for now, it’s still a lovely way to spend a day honoring Edmondson — an undersung sculptor who was born to formerly enslaved people and became one of Nashville’s artistic greats — while supporting contemporary local artists and craftspeople.
10 a.m. at William Edmondson Homesite Park & Gardens
1450 14th Ave. S.
