Each December in Lynchburg, there’s a night when The Holler feels just a little bit brighter, and not just because of the hundreds of twinkling lights strung across a towering whiskey-barrel tree. It’s because families, friends, locals, out-of-towners, and the occasional wide-eyed first-timer all gather at the Jack Daniel’s Visitor’s Center for one of Tennessee’s most beloved holiday traditions: the annual lighting of the Jack Daniel Distillery Barrel Tree at Christmas in Lyn

Black Friday does not have to be loud or tiring. Tennessee State Parks hosts free ranger-led hikes the day after Thanksgiving. These walks give you a calm way to spend time with family and friends. You learn about the land. You meet people. You get a break from the holiday rush. Most hikes are gentle. Some take you a little farther into the woods. All of them help you slow down.

There’s a lot to love about downtown Lynchburg. It’s charming, walkable, and full of character. And now, it’s also home to Company Distilling , a locally rooted distillery that’s brought something fresh to the square without losing the feel of the place. With award-winning bourbon, a relaxed atmosphere, and a strong connection to the Tennessee whiskey tradition, this spot fits right in. Since opening in May 2025, Company Distilling has brought new energy to the heart of town.

Celebrate the official start of Fall in Tennessee by building the perfect festive itinerary: from pumpkin patches to distillery tours, there’s a Tennessee experience for every kind of Autumn enthusiast!

October 1, 2025, was an absolute dream come true for me. Growing up, some of my fondest memories were made wading in the creeks with my granddad. We’d spend hours catching crawdads, chasing minnows, and eventually fishing. I loved it then, and I love it now. Fishing is more than a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. I take my boys fishing, I teach them the lessons I learned, and I find peace every time I’m near the water.
