Free family fun is always a welcome treat, and it’s even better when it’s a big to-do! This year marks the 35th anniversary of the popular Big Band Dances in Nashville's Centennial Park (2500 West End Ave., Nashville).

Each Saturday, June – August (no dance on June 30), you and your kids can head over to the park’s Event Shelter from 7 – 10 p.m. Group dance lessons, courtesy of Nashville Ballroom & Company, take place from 7 – 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 – 8:50 p.m.

Each week features a different dance style and different live band while you kick up your heels. You can bring a picnic basket or take advantage of this year’s new food truck offerings. Two trucks will be on site each week — one savory and one sweet. In addition, a snow cone stand will be scooping refreshing cold treats. Here’s this year’s complete lineup:
