Come to Norris Dam for a vintage evening celebrating the Christmas season! This event will feature warm drinks, live folk music, family-friendly crafts, silent auctions and a bonfire, and Santa is planning on making a visit.

This free holiday event will be Saturday, December 14, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lenoir Museum, Grist Mill and Threshing Barn. Parking will be at and across from the Lenoir Museum, 2121 Norris Freeway.

We will be collecting non-perishable food donations for local Norris food banks. Please consider bringing a canned food item to support your local community.

A silent pie auction will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Crosby Threshing Barn. Support Norris Dam State Park and take home a tasty treat; it's a win-win. You do not have to be present to win. Winners will be announced or called at 7 p.m. (If you wish to donate a pie for this auction, please email holly.frerichs@tn.gov)

Kiddos can meet at the bonfire pit in front of the Threshing Barn at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. to "Read with a Ranger" where one of our park rangers will read aloud a Christmas story. The Barn will also house "make your own ornament" stations!

Live music by the Clinch River Ramblers will be in the Lenoir Museum, along with historic crafts.

If you have questions, please contact the park office at 865-425-4500.
