Living Windows took place in Knoxville Thursday evening. The festivities began with Candyland Live, with many stores giving out discounts and door prizes. The annual tree-lighting took place on the south lawn of the Marion County Courthouse to the tune of songs performed by members of the Knoxville High School Band. Carolers performed at many downtown shops, and the KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio was on site to play music.

Santa and Mrs. Claus were at the Knoxville High School parking lot to hand out goodie bags to families coming in drive-through fashion. The night concluded with Santa leading Facebook Live viewers through Marion County Park for a sneak peak of the Merry-N-County Christmas light display.
