CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Fourth Annual SpiritFest holiday event will be held Saturday, Dec. 1 from 2-5 p.m. in downtown Clarksville.
The celebration will offer a bounty of free activities, including visits with Santa Claus, rides on the Express Bus, kids’ inflatables, live music on the new Downtown Commons stage, ice skating, art and gift markets, food trucks and a live nativity with animals. SpiritFest starts three hours before Clarksville’s 59th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade, which will pass by its location in Historic Downtown Clarksville.
SpiritFest will take place at First Presbyterian Church (213 Main Street) and Trinity Episcopal Church (317 Franklin Street). To make navigation easy for attendees, an event map and schedule is available at www.spiritfestdowntown.com. Maps and schedules will also be available at an information table in the First Presbyterian parking lot.
During the event, guests may use the Planning Commission parking lot on Main street and the APSU parking lots on the corners of Main & 4th (and get an early parking spot for the parade).
“This combination of SpiritFest and the parade lends joy and splendor to the holiday season,” said Rev. Gregory L. Glover, First Presbyterian Church pastor. “So many organizations, businesses and individuals pitch in to provide activities and diversions in the heart of our city for, literally, every age group to enjoy.”
