Countdown to Light Park Nov. 20
Get your holiday season started by joining Town of Farragut as the switch gets flipped on a massive light display at Founders Park at Campbell Station. Countdown to Light the Park starts at 5:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 20, with a full slate of activities, including a visit from a special guest in red.
“This year’s event brings fresh activities. Entertainment will include harpist Joanna Seiber, Southern Taps Clogging Company and holiday tunes from local favorite Mike Snodgrass,” a Town press release stated. “Younger visitors will enjoy a scavenger hunt, a firepit, crafts and treats.”
Parking for Countdown to Light the Park is available across the street at Westgate Christian Fellowship. Knox County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to assist those crossing North Campbell Station Road. Additional parking is available at Farragut Community Center, 239 Jamestowne Blvd., and at Ralph McGill Plaza at the corner of Kingston Pike and North Campbell Station Road.
“For those unable to make it to Countdown to Light the Park, PBS will be on the scene to provide a live stream of the event on the Town of Farragut Facebook page and YouTube channel,” the release stated. “A Light the Park holiday special featuring the event will air at 8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 9, and at noon, Sunday, Dec. 24. The special also can be viewed On-Demand on PBS Passport.”
