Main Street: Murfreesboro and Rutherford County is in search of a large tree to celebrate Christmas this holiday season.

Main Street is looking for an 18-20 foot tall evergreen-preferably a fir or blue or Norwegian spruce from Rutherford County. The tree will be on display throughout the holiday season beginning the night of the tree lighting.

“We need your help!” states Kathleen Herzog, Main Street Director. “If you are willing to donate a tree to our historic downtown, please give Main Street a call. In addition to acknowledging your kind gift during the tree lighting, Santa promises to make all your wishes come true!” 

On Dec. 7, Rutherford County Courthouse comes aglow as the community comes together for our annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Celebration.

There will be singing, caroling, delicious treats and, of course, a visit by Santa Claus. The Public Square turns festive on this night when our merchants stay open late, restaurants offer holiday specials, and entertainment captivates the historic downtown.

Main Street: Murfreesboro/Rutherford County is committed to maintaining, enhancing and promoting the historic downtown as the heart of the community.

For details on donating a tree or additional information about Main Street, call the office at 615-895-1887 or e-mail kathleen@downtownmurfreesboro.com.
