Due to the heavy rainfall received, several streets throughout the City of Paris are experiencing flooding and standing water.

Residents and commuters are urged to use extreme caution while traveling. Never drive through flooded roadways, as water depths can be difficult to determine and conditions can change quickly.

Please allow extra travel time, reduce your speed, and watch for road hazards.

🎶 The numbers are in! Based on our location analytics and foot-traffic data, an estimated 17,000 people visited downtown Paris over the course of the day during TN River Jam on Saturday, June 6. At peak attendance, approximately 13,000 people were downtown just before Jamey Johnson took the stage

Events like this don't happen without teamwork, cooperation, and countless people willing to go above and beyond. We heard story after story of individuals stepping up when needed, and we couldn't be more proud of our community. The impact of TN River Jam extends far beyond a single weekend. Not only did thousands of visitors experience everything Paris has to offer, but we also made a lasting impression that will benefit our community for years to come. Thank you to everyone who made this event such a tremendous success. ❤️

What an awesome week at Eiffel Tower Park! The City of Paris was proud to host and sponsor the opening night of TN River Jam 2026 featuring Dr. Zarr's Amazing Funk Monster last Thursday. With an estimated 3,500 people in attendance, the park was filled with great music, dancing, delicious food, and plenty of community spirit. 🎶

The fun started even earlier in the week with our Concerts in the Park series, as Rockin' Randall French took the stage on Tuesday night and entertained an estimated crowd of 3,000 people. Between the two events, thousands of residents and visitors came together to enjoy everything that makes summer in Paris special. 💙 Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a memorable week at Eiffel Tower Park.

Couldn't make it? There are still more Concerts in the Park coming up all summer long, every other Tuesday at Eiffel Tower Park. Learn more at 👉 https://paristn.gov/summer-2026-concerts-in-the-park/

If you attended either concert, tell us in the comments: What was your favorite song or moment from the week?
