The town of Smyrna kicks off its Centennial this coming Friday night (6/12/2015) with the SIMPLY SMYRNA CELEBRATION. Historic Front Street will be closed for the gala that will take place from 5:00 until 10:00PM.

The event will include multiple music stages featuring local acts, artists, local dignitaries, food, kid zone, craft, and business vendors. The celebration will be held in historic downtown Smyrna on Front Street.

A time capsule will also be dedicated to commemorate the Town of Smyrna's second charter issued in 1915.

The Simply Smyrna Celebration is similar in feel to Nashville's Dancing in the District. Front Street will be pedestrian only during this event. Last year there were over 4,000 people in attendance.

This event is sponsored by the Town of Smyrna, in conjunction with Carpe Artista and Smyrna Independent Merchants Association (SiMA). For more information, visit www.carpeartista.com or call 615-984-4040.
