Scores of Farragut, Knox County and Knox area parents and children joined Santa Claus and Knox County government dignitaries among those on hand at The Cove at Concord Park to officially cut the ribbon and flip the switch to begin a month of holiday lights starting at 6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3.
Lights will be turned on for public enjoyment each night from 6 to 9 p.m., except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, through Sunday, Jan. 3.
A Knox County Parks & Recreation official will be on hand nightly during the lighting to collect for The Love Kitchen in East Knoxville, accepting donations of canned food and/or monetary donations.
