Ryman Auditorium To Host Annual Community Day On May 30

Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium has announced its annual Ryman Community Day will take place Sunday, May 30. Presented by PNC Bank and supporting partners Farm Bureau Health Plans, Hiller and Nissan, complimentary self-guided tours will be available from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. free of charge with presentation of a valid Tennessee state ID.

“We are thrilled to safely welcome back full-capacity daytime tours at the Ryman, and there is no better way to do that than with Ryman Community Day,” says Gary Levy, Ryman Auditorium General Manager. “Events like these signal the resurgence of Downtown Nashville, and together with PNC, our neighbors at the National Museum of African American Music, local artists and all of our great partners, we look forward to safely hosting thousands of guests throughout the day as we’ve done in past years.”

The Ryman and PNC, in conjunction with 650 AM WSM, the National Museum of African American Music and Jefferson Street Sound Museum, will provide free live music throughout the day from 50 Shades of Hay, Bizz & Everyday People, The Magi, Miss Tess and Saaneah. Guests are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items as part of a community-wide food drive in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.

Once inside the Mother Church of Country Music, guests will see genuine artifacts and enjoy videos with hosts Sheryl Crow, Marty Stuart, Nicole Kidman, Ricky Skaggs, Robin Roberts and Trisha Yearwood that take them through each chapter of the Ryman’s illustrious history. Fans also will be able to have their picture taken on stage where so many legends have stood before them.

“The Ryman Auditorium is a first-class entertainment venue in the heart of the city and we are excited to help more members of the community enjoy it through Ryman Community Day,” says Mike Johnson, PNC regional president for Tennessee. “At a time when we are slowly returning toward normalcy, what better way to connect communities, neighborhoods and generations together through the power of music to create a stronger, more vibrant region.”

Safety procedures and training have been implemented at the venue to help promote guest safety. Ryman Auditorium strictly complies with safety regulations set forth by Metro Nashville that include mandatory masks indoors for all guests and staff and enhanced cleaning practices.
