Knox County kicks off its annual Festival of Lights this
Friday at The Cove at Concord Park off Northshore Drive. The initial event takes
place at 5:45 p.m. with Knox County Mayor Tim “Bigfoot” Burchett
flipping the light switch. (No kidding.)
The “sparkle and entertaining” light show (as the county’s
spin team puts it) runs through Saturday, Dec. 29 (except for Christmas Day)
from 6-9 p.m.
On Dec. 21-23, Santa (probably the mayor in disguise) will
visit, and there also will be a Holiday Market with local vendors and crafters
selling Christmas gifts and food.
The county notes that this event has grown during the past
few years with new displays, fancy lights coordinated to music, blah, blah,
bonfires, marshmallows and lots and lots of lights.
The event is free, but the county will collect a
non-perishable food item for The Love Kitchen, which provides meals, clothing
and food for the homebound, homeless and unemployed.
