NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — SEC fans don't need a ticket to get in on all the tournament fun! You can enjoy all the excitement surrounding the games right next door at the SEC Party in the Park.
It's a free event for fans of all ages where people can do fun activities while watching the games on a big screen.
The party is Friday and Saturday at the Music City Walk of Fame Park which is right across the street from Bridgestone Arena. It all gets started at 10 a.m.
There will be live music, food trucks and games to play keeping you entertained in between cheering on your favorite teams.
Country music artist Phil Vassar is the headlining act with a performance starting at 6 p.m. Saturday. There will be performances by several other bands and DJs keeping the party going.
A bar will be open to buy drinks.
People are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets and spend the day enjoying it all from morning until night both days. Basketball fans are traveling to Nashville from all over to experience the energy the SEC tournament brings to Music City every year.
There are still so many families in East Tennessee hurting following the floods from Hurricane Helene in September. That made this year's running of the Santa Train extra special for many families in the northeast part of the state. This special Santa Express has been making an annual run in part of Appalachia for over 80 years.
