Hot to Trot 5K/10K and Fun Run (Nov. 28)
If you're looking to burn off some pre-Thanksgiving calories, join the Hot to Trot race, a fun tradition hosted by Fleet Feet Knoxville.

Kick up the holiday spirit with this chip-timed run at the Farragut Community Center, taking you through the decorated streets of Village Green. Whether you're a serious runner or just there for the holiday atmosphere, this event is a festive way to stay active and embrace the season.
Cookie Walk & Craft Fair (December 7 from 9am-noon)
One of my personal favorites, the Cookie Walk & Craft Fair at Faith Lutheran Church, is not to be missed! Grab a box and pack it full of your favorite Christmas cookies as you stroll through the room, admiring crafts and holiday treasures. This charming activity is a great way to pick up a treat (or several) and get into the holiday spirit!
Festival of Lights at Cove Park (Dec. 1 - Dec. 31)
Each night, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Cove Park transforms into a mesmerizing festival of lights. Enjoy the beautiful displays, walk through the park, and even meet Santa on Friday and Saturday nights. While the event is free, donations of non-perishable food items for The Love Kitchen are greatly appreciated.
Light the Park (Nightly)
Founders Park will continue to shine each night, with a breathtaking display of holiday lights you can visit at any time throughout the season.
With each of these events, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Farragut this holiday season. From the active to the artistic, our town is truly lighting up with festive cheer!
