HOLIDAY AT CHEEKWOOD
November 25 - December 31
Let the holidays begin as Cheekwood showcases the sights and sounds of the season with lavishly decorated grounds, artfully trimmed trees, and unique holiday activities. In honor of the Visions of the American West exhibition, it will be ‘A Frontier Christmas’ at Cheekwood. Representing everything from the traditions of the Plains Indians to the unique culture of the original cowboys, each tree brings a bit of the Wild West to Nashville in a new and festive way. Cheekwood is enchanting, entertaining, and educational this holiday season – celebrate with us!
