The Tennessee main street is a thing of wonder. A darling place, run over with kids and families and parents ready to duck into an antique shop at a moment’s notice. There’s usually a bakery or a candy shop, a bit of room for the kids to play, and a coffee shop for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up. It’s at Christmastime that these spots really have the ability to show off, and you’re about to understand just WHY we love them so much.
- Greeneville
Greeneville Main Street This darling town kicks of the season with the lighting of the trees on the courthouse and town hall lawns. Perfect. Magic. The production is huge, and Father and Mother Christmas even show up to light the tree. Then everyone hangs out to watch an outdoor movie. How neat is that??
- Cleveland

- Franklin

- McMinnville

- Memphis
I Love Memphis - Memphis There’s an annual Christmas parade down Beale Street, and a 30-foot tree (that is SO huge) on the corner of Peabody and Main Street. This town sure does Christmas well…
