EVENT DETAILS
This free, family-friendly gathering aims to showcase our diversity and bring our Murfreesboro community together, regardless of faith, color, ethnicity, or any other differences.
We will have several stations showcasing the diverse heritages of our neighbors. Each station will represent a different country or cultural heritage, complete with food, decorations, and information. If you're interested in hosting a station, sign up here: Sign Up Genius.
Local nonprofits are invited to host a table and share their work with the community. These tables are free, but you’ll need to bring your own tent and supplies. To reserve a table, RSVP here: Non-Profit Registration Form.
The event will feature music and some ethnic dancing.
We will also be awarding prizes for the best overall station(s), best food, and best fashion, based on people's choice and judges' votes. Those prizes will be manage by Good Eats in the Boro.
There will be activities for children of all ages (Henna, Air brush, Tatreez, Facepainting, and more).
Come make new friends and enjoy the chance for all of us to teach and learn together.
We want to show that love and peace define our Murfreesboro community.

BACKGROUND
On the last weekend of October 2017, Murfreesboro’s Public Square was eerily empty as the town braced for an anti-immigrant white nationalist rally. Barricades blocked the square’s entrances, and storefronts were boarded up. Yet, these boards bore beautiful messages like “love always,” “in the face of love, everyone is equal,” and “Murfreesboro Loves.”
Now, on the anniversary of that weekend, downtown Murfreesboro will be a place of celebration of our diversity with the "Love Your Neighbor" event.
