town calendar

Get your holiday season started by joining Town of Farragut as the switch gets flipped between 6:30 and 6:45 p.m. on a massive light display at Founders Park at Campbell Station. Countdown to Light the Park starts at 5:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 25, with a full slate of activities, including a visit from a special guest in red.

 Meteorologist Mike Witcher emcees this year’s event, featuring entertainment from the Mark Boling Trio, the award-winning FHS dance team and local favorite Mike Snodgrass. Younger visitors will enjoy crafts, games and dropping letters into Santa’s mailbox. To receive a reply from Santa, mail letters by Monday, Dec. 16, and include a return address.

A new addition to Light the Park festivities is a 53-foot-by-33-foot synthetic ice rink that will operate from Monday, Nov. 22, through Saturday, Jan. 4 at Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza. For more information and to make, visit www.townoffarragut.org

Parking for Countdown to Light the Park is available across Campbell Station Road at Westgate Christian Fellowship, as well at Autumn Care Assisted Living (400 Herron Road) and Holy Cross Anglican Church (515 Herron Road).
