Tree lighting, Whoville Christmas happening in Jonesborough on Saturday

The Town of Jonesborough is kicking off the holiday season this weekend with its annual tree lighting ceremony and Whoville Christmas. Festivities start Saturday morning at 11 with a Whoville Christmas. For free, families can meet the Grinch himself, and those who come dressed as a Whoville character will receive a “Grinch treat” until 3 PM.

Santa will be on his iconic sleigh for families to take photos with, as well. Later Saturday night, music and storytelling lead into the tree lighting at the Washington County Courthouse in Jonesborough at 6.

A full list of Christmas events in Jonesborough can be found on the town’s website.
