NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — With less than three weeks to go until Christmas, Metro Nashville officials are getting final touches in place for they city's decoration.
Friday they'll hold the lighting for the city tree at Public Square Park downtown.
The tree lighting ceremony will start at 6 p.m. in front of the historic Metro Courthouse. This year's tree is a Norway Spruce coming from a Brentwood family.
Special appearances are expected during the ceremony from mascots Gnash, Tempo, Booster and T-Rac as well as the big man in red, Santa.
Several local choirs will perform from Lakeview Elementary, Head Magnet Middle and Olive Branch Church.
There's an opportunity to give back to the community if you come.
The Last Minute Toy Store is asking for new, unwrapped toys, bikes and other age appropriate gifts around $10-$25 for their toy drive.

It takes a village! Hats off to the Wilson County Rotary clubs for investing in our kids in such a tangible way. Putting 100,000 books in the hands of little learners is something to celebrate. I love that they store the books in a bank vault — they truly are priceless!
