NASHVILLE – Due to the impact of recent and ongoing heavy rains, SEC Party in the Park activities scheduled for Sunday, March 16, at Music City Walk of Fame Park have been cancelled. The significant rainfall from Friday night through today have resulted in conditions, including water pooling, that are not suitable for hosting the event.
SEC Party in the Park activities on Friday took place smoothly and with no incidents. Today’s activities had already been cancelled. SEC Party in the Park was in its second year as an initiative of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp and the Southeastern Conference.
All other SEC-related activities are scheduled to continue as scheduled. SEC FanFare is taking place on the concourse inside Bridgestone Arena. The live ESPN Selection Sunday show with Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Jay Williams and Seth Greenberg is scheduled to take place at Bridgestone Arena Plaza on Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is open to fans to support their favorite teams.
