Sewanee’s First Tree Lighting


Join with friends and family this afternoon, Nov. 30, when Sewanee lights its Christmas Tree in the Sewanee Angel Park and ushers in the holidays on the Mountain with music and fun.

The festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. Bonnie and John McCardell will do the honors of turning on the lights.

To help families in need in Sewanee, participants are encouraged to bring unwrapped toys for Operation NOEL, which will be collected by members of the Sewanee Fire Department for distribution on Christmas Eve. Also, gifts of money and nonperishable food will be collected for the Community Action Committee (CAC). 

The Sewanee Chorale will lead Christmas carols. Refreshments will be served, and Santa Claus will be available for pictures with the children. Bring your own camera.

This event is organized and sponsored by the Sewanee Business Alliance.  Organizers hope that this celebration can be a new holiday tradition in Sewanee.

In case of inclement weather for the tree lighting, refreshments and Santa will be hosted by Locals, across the street from Angel Park in the Sewanee Village.
