No matter what this year threw at us, nothing can stop Christmas and Christmas in Bell Buckle will be special. It may be different, but it will always be special. So turn those bright holiday lights on full force and bring it ON!
Bell Buckle starts off the December weekends with a big fan favorite – Bell Buckle Night Market! On Friday, December 4th from 4-8pm there will be local artisans and crafters to help with your Christmas shopping. Enjoy that old fashioned Christmas feeling with Christmas movies at the pavilion including a fire pit and of course popcorn! There will be outdoor games such as corn hole, giant checkers, and tic-tac-toe. Live music throughout the town will just add to that festive feel! And of course there is that ever important Christmas tradition – Shopping! Shops will be open later that night for the full holiday shopping experience. And the jolly old man himself will be making an appearance! So come see Santa and enjoy the Bell Buckle Night Market.
Though the traditional Quilt Walk had to be cancelled this year, there is still so much more that Bell Buckle has to offer. Even in these crazy times, we can all find joy in the times that bring us all together. Try one or all three of our fun scavenger hunts (details at www.bellbucklechamber.com) or find one of the many geocaches in town. This is fun that the entire family can have together. Be sure and take a photo at each fun find and post to social media for a chance to win something special from one of our Bell Buckle shops in the monthly scavenger hunt drawing!
The annual Pet Parade is fun whether you are a participant or a spectator. On Saturday, December 5th, watch those fur babies strut their stuff down Main Street in their holiday attire. Again, go to www.bellbucklechamber.com for registration and entry forms.
Santa and his elves will be offering FREE magical sleigh rides every Saturday around the quaint, tree lined streets to take in the mesmerizing lights and festive spirit that abound in Bell Buckle. In case of rain, Santa will be parking his sleigh under the pavilion to stay dry and be available for photos.
When you think of Christmas, the songs and music of Christmas are one of the best parts of the entire season – all about happiness, anticipation, family, friends – the best of everything! So enjoy those songs with old time strolling carolers. Everyone stops whatever they’re doing when the carolers start up to listen or to even join in.
Of course, things change constantly and this year has emphasized that with lots of “creative emojis”, but Bell Buckle won’t let that damper the holiday spirits. If anything, it makes us all even more grateful for all the special things that Bell Buckle offers.
Bell Buckle, Tennessee- Close to home but a world away!
