By Amber St. John Goss, Publisher November 16, 2020

While many parades and celebrations have been cancelled or re-imagined, there are several holiday light events and parades to be found around Franklin, Brentwood, and the surrounding areas in 2020. Several events are multi-day to allow for greater social distancing. 

There are parades in Nolensville and Murfreesboro, and tree lightings in Fairview and Brentwood. There are drive through events and a flashlight candy cane hunt in Franklin, and a live drive through Nativity in Franklin just before Christmas.
