Christmas at Rugby & Holiday Dinner

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, tours of select private homes 11-3 Eastern, a visit from Father Christmas, and the sounds of carolers performing throughout the village. Look for performances by the Rugby Cornet Band at 11 a.m. Eastern & singer Josie James at 1:15! A Christmas Tree Lighting is also held at 5:30 p.m. Eastern at the gazebo. Questions?
