Description
Holiday Express at the UT Gardens, an event for the entire family, features trains running simultaneously on a quarter-mile track that winds through the fictional town of Ravensford. Visitors will wonder at the elaborate landscape, which includes replicas of existing East Tennessee architecture. The hand-crafted display is located on the Friendship Plaza at the entrance to the UT Gardens off Neyland Drive. New this year will be appearances by Santa on December 4-6 and December 11-13, and performances by local choral groups.
