HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS EVENTS

  H.O.M.E. For Christmas - November 26, 6:15 PM

This annual community celebration is our kick-off to the Christmas holidays.  Join us in decorating the MLK Center and the surrounding grounds.  Christmas trees will be erected and lit on the lawn (where the old swimming pool once was).  Any family, church organization, individual or group interested in including a tree is welcome to do so.  Light refreshments will be served at the Center following the tree lighting.  The event is sponsored by H.O.M.E. INC. & MLK CENTER.

Springbrook Splendor

Celebrate the lighting of the City of Alcoa Christmas Tree in the Upper Fields of Springbrook Park where the trails will be lit with luminaria.  Following the ceremony, there will be special music, refreshments, visits with Santa Claus, and hay rides for the children.  Event is free. 

Festival of Trees

The lawn of the Blount County Courthouse will be illuminated with a display of live Christmas trees of all sizes, colors, and decorative themes. This unique month-long event allows the community to enjoy the festival either by driving by or walking through for a closer look.  The official opening of the Festival will take place on the Courthouse lawn and will include music, refreshments, visits with Santa Claus, and hay rides for the children.  For information on entering a tree in the festival, please contact Cookie Crowson at the Parks & Rec. Office at 983-9244.   

Illumination of the Greenbelt

Enjoy the City of Maryville Tree Lighting ceremony at the pedestrian bridge at Pistol Creek Station leading to the Library.  The program will feature music, refreshments, a candy hunt for Ages 2-12, and visits with Santa Claus in the Library at the end of the event.  Event is free.

 Santa Calls

Children in Blount County can enjoy a very special telephone call from Santa Claus free of charge thanks to the continued support of volunteers from the Maryville-Alcoa Civitan Club who provide special phone lines from the North Pole.
