The Sewanee Business Alliance is pleased to announce the 2023 Sewanee Village Tree Lighting at 4:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 1, in Sewanee Angel Park.

The evening will begin with Christmas caroling by the Monteagle Elementary, Sewanee Elementary choirs, and Children’s Choir of St. Mark and St. Paul. Then, Santa Claus will arrive to light the tree and officially usher in the holiday season.

In addition to the tree lighting, there will be hot drinks and refreshments for everyone, and children will have the opportunity to meet and take pictures with Santa. The event will also be a collection site for unwrapped toys, food, and money for Operation Noel and the Community Action Committee (CAC), so please bring along a donation if you are able.

“The Sewanee Village Tree Lighting is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season and celebrate our community,” said Sewanee Business Alliance President John Goodson. “We encourage everyone to come out and join us for this special event.”

The Sewanee Village Tree Lighting is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit the Sewanee Business Alliance website at <www.sewaneevillage.com>.
