This holiday season, aCross Tennessee is once again bringing the true spirit of Christmas to neighborhoods across the state, marking its sixth year of spreading festive cheer with lighted crosses. The event, which has become a beloved tradition, encourages residents to light up their yards with the symbol of the cross, a powerful reminder of the reason for the season.
On Saturday, November 23, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., aCross Tennessee will kick off the holiday celebrations with a special giveaway event at Crump Paris Park in South Carthage. The first 100 families to arrive will receive a free five-foot lighted cross to display in their yards. The giveaway is on a first-come, first-served basis, with each family limited to one cross. This is a wonderful opportunity for local residents to participate in this meaningful event and bring a touch of light and hope to their communities during the Christmas season.
The aCross Tennessee initiative has grown steadily over the years, with participants from across Smith County and beyond joining in to light up their homes with these iconic crosses. Whether you’re driving down a country road or passing through a neighborhood, it’s hard to miss the glowing crosses, which serve as a visual reminder of the holiday’s Christian roots.
What started as a local event has since blossomed into a statewide movement, uniting communities in the shared message of faith, hope, and joy. This year’s official event will run from November 23, 2024, through December 31, 2024, with people across Tennessee decorating their homes and yards to celebrate the Christmas season.
