This week, the city kicks off its inaugural Nashvillage Holiday Market in Walk of Fame Park downtown. The festivities begin Thursday night at 6 p.m. with a tree-lighting ceremony, presented by the Nashville Downtown Partnership and the Nashville Predators. Though the market itself is free to attend each day, a ticketed Holiday Cocktail Bash (21 and up, naturally) will take place Friday evening, and St. Nick himself will be available for photos with the kiddos from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday (printed and digital photos are available for a fee). Vendors at the market will include Hatch Show Print, Nashville Candle Company, Humphreys Street Coffee and many others, and Saturday’s especially family-friendly happenings will also include crafting, face painting, science experiments from Mr. Bond’s Science Guys and much more. If you find yourself in need of some holiday spirit, shake off the bah humbugs in the warming glow of this cavalcade of Christmas events.
