Farragut's Light the Park annual event will be held from 5:00 -7:30 pm at Founder’s Park on Campbell Station Road, near the Farragut branch of the Knox County Library. With the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen in attendance, and entertainment by area performers, this family friendly event will set the holiday mood.

The highlight of the evening will be when Mayor Ron Williams and other Town officials welcome a very special guest dressed in a Red Suit. He will be asked to help throw the switch at approximately 6:30 pm on 50+ trees, garland pole wraps and other lighted decorations, featuring over 70,000 glistening bulbs throughout the park and all the way down to the Campbell Station Inn!

Entertainment will be provided by the Farragut High School Choral Dept., the Akima Club Singers, the Concord Brass Quintet, plus Soloists from Farragut’s Angela Floyd Schools. Mrs. S. Claus and her elves will be there helping post letters to the North Pole!

Parking will be available across the street from the park, courtesy of Westgate Christian Fellowship and Holy Cross Anglican Church at 515 Herron Rd. across from the Library traffic light entrance. The Knoxville Sheriff’s Department will be on hand to assist those crossing Campbell Station Road.

Attendees can look forward to enjoying the holiday cheer with freshly baked cookies to be provided by area businesses. Coffee and hot chocolate will be courtesy of First Watch Café.
