About MAGIC Nashville
MAGIC Nashville is the southern stop on the MAGIC fashion calendar, held on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 May 2027 at Music City Center in downtown Nashville. Its organiser, Informa Markets, describes an edited marketplace of trend, young contemporary, modern sportswear and contemporary fashion with a regional point of view, aimed at buyers and retail decision makers from across the South and Midwest.
Collections are grouped into communities such as Nashville Local, Gameday and Western, and the organiser promises new immediates and a first look at holiday alongside seasonal product. It is a trade event: the organiser says its shows are not open to the public, every attendee must be verified by show management, and verified purchasers attend for free.
MAGIC also runs larger shows in Las Vegas and New York, and Las Vegas has its own page on this site; this page covers Nashville only. Music City Center stands in downtown Nashville, so SoBro, Downtown and Broadway and the Gulch are the natural places to stay. Registration is arranged with the organiser, separately from your hotel.
