IndigeNash is a landmark Native-led arts festival created by a local team of Indigenous artists, producers and collaborators.

Returning November 21–23, 2025, this vibrant celebration showcases Native artists across diverse creative disciplines — including visual art, music, film, fashion, culinary arts, dance, and installation.

IndigeNash honors the invaluable contributions of Indigenous peoples while raising awareness of Nashville’s rich cultural fabric. This first-of-its-kind event for the city serves as a platform to celebrate and recognize the artistic and cultural impact of Indigenous voices, which have historically been underrepresented and overlooked. Now entering its second year, IndigeNash continues to build momentum as a step toward necessary social change and artistic inclusivity.

Festival highlights will include traditional and contemporary dance and music performances, a group exhibition of Indigenous artists, a Native artisan market, film screenings, panel discussions, cultural craft demonstrations, and traditional ceremonies. IndigeNash not only empowers Indigenous voices but also creates opportunities for the broader community to engage with and learn about Indigenous traditions and contemporary issues.

Funding raised in support of the festival directly compensates the creatives involved in IndigeNash. Artists are paid to exhibit, perform, and participate through funding from community partners, individual donors, in-kind supporters, and The Forge Nashville.

Join us for this landmark celebration and help us continue to raise awareness of Indigenous culture in Nashville.
