Christmas Village Returns to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds - One Last Time

Monday November 9, 2009

As the holidays fast approach, so do the challenges of finding the perfect gift for family and friends, and one of Nashville's decade old tradition is going to Christmas Village - which is sure to help with any holiday gift giving woes.
Christmas Village, which began in 1961, is recognized as one of the best events of it's kind in the southeast and has raised millions for the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center, as well as an additional million or so for other philanthropic organizations too.

This annual event is set open to the public Friday, Nov. 13th and run through Sunday, Nov. 15th at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds*.
Visitors can expect over 250 merchants from across the country to be selling their holiday gift wares and more than 20,000 other enthusiastic shoppers to attend the three-day event, which features such items as Christmas decorations, toys for all ages, clothing for adults and children, jewelry, food, antiques, pottery, collectibles and gifts for the person who has everything.
Tickets are under $10.00, for additional information, please visit www.christmasvillage.org

* Sadly, the Historic Tennessee State Fairgrounds is scheduled to close on June 30th, 2010.

Update: City officials have announced that they are giving the Fairground Businesses (w/the exception of the racing and fair) a one year extension - this means that the Christmas Village will be able to take place in 2010 at the TN fairgrounds - for one more additional year.
