Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders marched through downtown Nashville.

About 250 people carrying signs and wearing shirts showed their support for Sanders Saturday.

The group held a rally at the Parthenon after walking from Rosa Parks Boulevard up West End Boulevard to Centennial Park.

Participants said they wanted to show Sanders has a lot of support in Nashville and that his message on the campaign trail has been something everyone can get behind.

“Blue collar people matter, white collar people matter, union people matter, everybody matters, and that's what Bernie stands for is everybody,” said Sidney Bennett, a supporter of Sanders.

After the rally at Centennial Park, the group walked back through downtown.
