Phil Vassar is set to headline the new fan event “SEC Party in the Park” on March 16 at Music City Walk of Fame Park with a free performance from 6 p.m. to  7:30 p.m.

The “SEC Party in the Park” is a free fan activation with live music, food trucks, family-friendly games and a video screen to watch the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament at Bridgestone Arena on March 15-16. The free “SEC Party in the Park” will kick off at 10 a.m. both days and is a new joint initiative of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp and the Southeastern Conference.

The fan festival will include a video screen to watch the tournament games, food trucks and cornhole games. The Fieldhouse Bar will offer cold beer, and phone charging stations will be available. Attendees are invited to bring blankets and collapsible chairs, but no coolers, backpacks or pop-up tents. The SEC will host SEC Fan Fare on the plaza at Bridgestone Arena and a section of Rep. John Lewis Way south of Broadway with fan-friendly activities.

“The ‘SEC Party in the Park’ will be a great gathering spot for fans to meet up before, after and in between games, as well as a family-friendly place for locals and visitors who don’t have game tickets to be part of the tournament atmosphere and cheer on their favorite SEC teams,” says NCVC President and CEO Deana Ivey. “We look forward to bringing live local music to the basketball tournament in a way that only Music City knows how to deliver.”

“’SEC Party in Park’ will be a great addition to the already outstanding fan experience of the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament,” says SEC COO Charlie Hussey. “We appreciate the continued support from Nashville and the Music City community.”

This is the twelfth year for Nashville to host the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament, dating back to 2001. The tournament kicks off with a 6 p.m. game on Wednesday, March 13, and runs to March 17, when the championship game is played at 12 p.m. The full Men’s Tournament schedule also is available at secsports.com.
