Cheekwood Holiday LIGHTS: A Magical Nashville Tradition Returns
As the festive season approaches, Nashville residents are gearing up for one of the city’s most celebrated traditions—Holiday LIGHTS at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens. This year, the enchanting event kicks off on November 21 and runs through January 4, promising a delightful experience filled with dazzling lights, creative displays, and the warm spirit of the holidays.
A New Theme for a Beloved Event
Under the whimsical theme “Sweet Dreams,” Cheekwood has enlisted the talents of former White House Chief Floral Designer Laura Dowling to adorn the Historic Mansion with festive décor. The creative element is not just confined to the mansion but expands throughout the estate's sprawling grounds. From candy-colored decorations to enchanting light displays, every corner of the gardens invites guests into a world of holiday wonder.
An Enchanting Experience
The heart of the event is a one-mile walking path illuminated by over one million twinkling lights. Highlighted by the impressive 28-foot Pixel Pine Tree at the Bradford Robertson Color Garden, the route unfolds with surprises like the classic Peppermint Path and the eye-catching Sparkling Serpentine display that graces the Mansion lawn. Visitors will find themselves lost in a winter wonderland brimming with creativity and beauty.
More Than Just Lights
While the spectacular light displays catch the eye, there’s much more to the Holiday LIGHTS experience. Attendees can warm up with hot cocoa, enjoy seasonal libations, and even roast s’mores at designated stations throughout the gardens. Additionally, the Holiday Marketplace offers a chance to shop for unique gifts, from festive décor to delightful treats, ensuring every visit brings home a piece of the magic.
