## About

Lebanon's Christmas on the Square brings timeless holiday charm to Wilson County's historic town square. The heart of downtown is transformed into a classic winter village centered around a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and garland-strewn lampposts. Families can climb aboard antique horse-drawn carriages for a cozy ride through historic residential streets while listening to the rhythmic clopping of hooves and jingling harness bells. Local youth choirs and bluegrass musicians perform on the courthouse steps while children make holiday crafts, write letters to Santa at the historic post office, and enjoy fresh cider and roasted marshmallows. Historic antique shops and boutique bakeries line the perimeter, offering warmth and holiday treats.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The historic town square features wide, level sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps, allowing easy stroller maneuvering throughout.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Public restrooms with baby changing stations are accessible inside the Wilson County Courthouse and adjacent city facilities.
• Age Suitability: Wonderful for all ages, from infants wrapped in warm blankets to toddlers excited by carriage horses and grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: A calm, quaint small-town environment with acoustic music and festive visual decorations without loud electronic amplification.
