The main goal was to bring everyone together to show common ground.
"It's really just awesome to see the kids playing together and people sampling foods and one of our food vendors was without a power cord so another food vendor went to the store and got a power cord, so it's just all about a hospitable environment right now,” said Cindy Politte.
Celebrate Nashville's mission has been to continue uniting cultures around the city.
