Nashville is Going Yellow Again in 2026!

In January 2026, Nashville once again is setting the tone for a brighter, healthier start to the year by standing with Dry January® USA in a powerful show of community support. Under the banner “Nashville Is Going Yellow,” Music City is glowing with bold yellow light across its iconic landmarks, symbolizing hope, wellness and a renewed commitment to healthier choices during the month of January.

From the striking illumination of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to the energy of Broadway and beyond, Nashville embraced the Dry January® movement with pride. This citywide display is more than a visual moment—it reflects a shared intention to pause, reset and prioritize well-being at the start of the year.

As part of this health-forward initiative, Nashville is featuring a variety of alcohol-free events, wellness experiences and social gatherings that are making participation both accessible and enjoyable. From mocktail offerings at local favorites to yoga and movement under the glowing skyline, the city continues to offer meaningful ways to connect while supporting healthier habits.

“Nashville Is Going Yellow” is more than lights in the night sky. It is a reminder to residents and visitors alike that small, intentional decisions—made together—can spark lasting change and a healthier future.
