BLACK ON BUCHANAN: a jUNETEENTH CELEBRATION
The Equity Alliance’s Black on Buchanan is a vibrant display of Blackness in North Nashville. Black on Buchanan is a celebration of Black joy, excellence, freedom and our fight for Black liberation. Our block party is hosted in an area that is home and refuge to generations of Black Nashvillians. By hosting the event here, we are honoring our past and celebrating the bright future ahead of us.
We are counting down to the 6th annual Black on Buchanan: A Juneteenth Celebration! The day will be filled with Black joy, Black entrepreneurship empowerment, and culture. We’ll line the street of Buchanan with over 75 vendors and community partners who all come out to celebrate freedom.

This is your chance to experience Black on Buchanan like never before—an elevated mix of live music and performances, vendors, food trucks, a kid’s zone, community partners, and pure Black joy in the heart of the community.
Last year, our Director of Growth & Engagement Jess Williams kept the crowd lit, lively and laughing all the way during our Buchanan Takeover. We appreciate you sharing your energy with us and calling out the best details of the day from the stage; like, the pro line dancers who acted like they didn’t want to dance, the folks who looked effortlessly fly in their outfits, and a lone motorcycle rider who didn’t notice the street was closed…
Thank you for showing up fully on Juneteenth and in all you do.
