Celebrate Christmas Downtown around the historic Rutherford County Courthouse as Main Street Murfreesboro presents the Tree Lighting Event on Friday, December 1 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
On the first Friday night of December, holiday revelers gather around the historic 1859 Rutherford County Court House for the annual lighting of the Rutherford County Christmas tree. Main Street organizes this event, featuring entertainment, caroling, the lighting of the tree, and a visit from a very special bearded gentleman. Bring your family downtown for dinner, view the live nativity, shop in unique stores, enjoy an hour-long program full of choir music, dancing, acting, and Santa. Free activities for children, carriage rides, and pictures with Santa run from 5:30-8:30pm. It's a Christmas tradition for Murfreesboro and we hope you and your family will be a part of it downtown!
The carriage rides around the Square are available for an additional fee.
