Williamson County’s Best Holiday Events

The Holiday Season has finally arrived! Williamson County sure loves the holidays as we celebrate all December long with festivals, parades, candy cane hunts, and much more. This month, I thought I’d highlight some of the local holiday festivities going on around town. As a lifelong resident, trust me when I say no one does the holidays like Williamson County!

Christmas Tree Lighting on the Square
Friday, December 2 / 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Franklin Square
Free Entry

I’ve personally attended too many of these to count, and each one seems to be better than the last. It truly is the best tree lighting in Middle Tennessee. This year, the Freedom Intermediate School’s Honors Choir will sing, and there will also be a special guest performance from five-time Grammy nominee Matthew West.

Second Annual Christmas in Brentwood
Sunday, December 4 / 3:00 – 7:00 PM
Brentwood Academy
Free Entry

Christmas in Brentwood is a wonderful community-wide celebration full of activities for the whole family. This year, Christian Recording artist Point of Grace will headline. There will also be food trucks, bounce houses, the lighting of the great tree, Santa and his elves, a nativity scene with live animals, and more!

Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt
Thursday, December 8 – Friday, December 9
Eastern Flank Battlefield Park

Four hunts will take place (5:00 & 6:30 PM) throughout the two-day celebration. Kids can decorate treat bags and hot chocolate and cookies will be provided. Pre-registration and entry fee is required. Call 615-794-2103 to register now. Each hunt is limited to 100 participants. Don’t forget your flashlight!

Dickens of a Christmas
Saturday, December 10 – Sunday, December 11
Downtown Franklin

This two-day celebration has something for everyone. It recreates the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin as the backdrop. There will be a variety of musicians, dancers, and Dickens’ characters filling the streets. It’s a great festival you don’t want to miss!
