Santa Claus Comes to Sewanee for Two Tree Lightings on Dec. 6

The University and the Sewanee Business Alliance have joined together to host the first annual Mountain Lights Festival. Two Christmas trees will be lit, and the shops of downtown Sewanee will light up on Friday, Dec. 6.

Students and community members will gather at 5 p.m. to light a tree in the Quad. Santa will then lead a procession down University Avenue with the Sewanee Cambiata and the Sewanee Chorale singing Christmas carols. 

 At 5:30 p.m. in Angel Park in downtown Sewanee, folks will gather for the lighting of the Village Christmas Tree. 

Bonnie and John McCardell will be on hand to help light the trees. Santa Claus will be available for photos with the kids under the music pavilion. There will be cocoa and cookies.

Please bring unwrapped toys for Operation Noel. Gifts of money and nonperishable food will be collected for the Community Action Committee (CAC).


Decorating of the Christmas tree at Angel Park will be at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 4. All are welcome to come help with this festive activity.
