Savannah ushers in the holidays with “Christmas on Main”

SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Savannah residents transformed parts of the town for the holidays with their annual “Christmas on Main” event.

From ice skating to face painting, everything except the food was free.

The majestic 30-foot community Christmas tree was lit Friday evening at the downtown gazebo.

There were Christmas movies in the historic Savannah Theater, carriage rides, trolley rides, children’s activities and music.

All of those great activities were made possible by donations.

“Oh, it makes me feel so proud for Savannah. We have a ‘Christmas on Main’ committee that works on this all year. It’s an all-year project, and they really put their heart and soul into it. And I’m really proud to be a part of that committee and really bring this to life for Savannah,” said Larae Sliger, executive director for the event.

If you weren’t able to attend “Christmas on Main” on Friday, it continues Saturday night, as well as next Friday and Saturday.
