Tree lighting in Nashville, 2026.
We found three Christmas tree lightings in and around Nashville whose organizer page shows a 2026 date, a time and a place. The first one on the list is Smyrna Christmas Tree Lighting on Nov 24. None of these pages says the lighting is free, so none of the cards calls it free. Three do not state a price.

Three things that make a lighting easier with little kids
TimeGo by the cardThe time on each card is the one posted when we checked. Recheck the organizer’s page the day you go.
WarmDress for standing stillA lighting is usually outdoors at dusk. A blanket for the stroller helps more than a walk would.
SpotStand where they can seeA tree lighting is short. A spot near the tree, not the back of the crowd, is the one little kids can see.Keep planning
