Description

 DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

 A local interpretation of the Latino tradition of Las Posadas (the Inns).

How does Bristol Celebrate Journey’s End?

Our inns are the restaurants on State Street and our innkeepers are various choirs and choral groups. We will begin at the Downtown Center (hot chocolate will be provided) and process by candlelight with Mary and Joseph down State Street. Singing the traditional song and various carols accompanied by instrumentalists, we will arrive at the Historic Bristol Train Station where we will have gingerbread and hot cider.

This year Mary will be Erin Luther and Joseph will be Adam Gambrell. Along the way, choirs from Redeemer Lutheran Church will be at Shanghai, Emmanuel Episcopal Church at the State Line Bar & Grill, First Presbyterian Church at Manna Bagel Café, State Street United Methodist Church at K P Duty, First Christian and Woodlawn Baptist Churches at Java J’s, and St. Anne’s School at the Bristol Train Station.

A special thank you to Southeast Culinary & Hospitality College for providing gingerbread, Java J’s for providing hot cider, the Bristol TN Department of Community Relations for providing hot chocolate at the Downtown Center and the musicians - Pete Buhls, Bob Greene, Dale Keller, Ralph Davis.

The Believe in Bristol event lasts a little more than an hour. Restaurants will be taking dinner reservations and several of the downtown shops will be open. Come and celebrate Christmas in the heart of our community!
