Lighting up Brentwood TN this Saturday!

The Annual Lighting up Brentwood TN happens again this Saturday! Hundreds of homeowners will light luminaries along the streets in front of their homes. Decorating your home with Christmas decorations has become an outdoor sport in this popular suburb of Nashville TN. Often block after block of homes compete for the most elaborate display. You can be sure that Saturday night those with Christmas light decorations will have them on.

Cars will drive up and down the streets of Brentwood's finest neighborhoods just to see the fabulous light displays. From east Concord Road to the homes in neighborhoods along Franklin Road dazzling lights will be everywhere.

For almost 20 years this tradition of Lighting up Brentwood on the 2^nd Saturday in December has delighted local families and their visitors.

We will have friends come down from Hermitage to ride with us as we ooh and aah over the different decorations. Make this a Holiday Tradition and join us in Brentwood tomorrow night. You won't be disappointed!
