We’re excited to be part of Walking in a Winter Wonderland at The Celebration Grounds this season. Deck The Halls will be helping bring several outdoor areas to life, including the sponsored barns, front entrance, and Champions Arena.
Proud to support Bridge Bedford and everyone working to create a new Christmas tradition for Bedford County.
Every tradition has an origin story.
This one began with a conversation.
within the walls of Cooper Steel Arena, where imagination quietly asked a simple question…
“What if Bedford County didn’t have to leave home to experience all the wonder of Christmas?”
What if, for six amazing weeks, families could step into a place where everyday life paused? Where children discovered the joy of gliding across an indoor ice rink for the very first time. Where dazzling lights transformed ordinary spaces into extraordinary memories.
That single conversation became a vision.
A vision that begins inside Cooper Steel Arena, transformed into a whimsical indoor winter escape filled with twinkling lights, immersive experiences, and a spectacular ice skating rink.
Then the journey continues.
Out into The Celebration Grounds, where wonder spills beyond the arena into a holiday village alive with Polar Express train rides, beautifully illuminated Celebration Barns, a glowing Pixel Tunnel, Family Fun Zones, interactive games, mini golf, community performances, school showcases, seasonal treats, and moments waiting to become family traditions.
This is more than a holiday event.
It’s the beginning of a new tradition.
Presented by Bridge Bedford, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening quality of life through creative placemaking, community engagement, and experiences that bring people together.
How fitting that this story unfolds at The Celebration Grounds, a place where generations have gathered around the heritage of the Tennessee Walking Horse. A place already rich with tradition, now preparing to welcome another.
One legacy isn’t replacing another.
It’s growing beside it.
From November 21 through January 2nd, the spirit of celebration expands beyond the show ring into a season of light, laughter, and togetherness.
A new chapter is being written for Bedford County.
A journey is beginning.
And years from now, we hope families will smile and say,
“We were there the very first year.”
