Christmas at Rugby & Holiday Dinner
December 14 @ 11:00 am - 8:00 pm EST
On the first two Saturdays in December, the historic settlement of Rugby, Tennessee, will come alive with Christmas spirit and celebrate the holidays as if it were still 1880, the year the town was settled.
The living Victorian-era village will bustle with caroling, holiday shopping and much more. Highlights of the Victorian Christmas celebration include holiday music, hot drinks and cookies in the decorated historic buildings, a visit from Father Christmas, horse & carriage rides 1-4 p.m. Eastern and the sounds of carolers performing throughout the village. Look for performances by the Rugby Cornet Band at 11 a.m. Eastern! A Christmas Tree Lighting is also held at 5:30 p.m. Eastern at the gazebo. Questions? Please call 423-628-2441 Ext. 1.
