A little bad weather moved the sixth annual Lighting of the Green indoors to Allen Arena, but that didn’t stop the fun and festivities. Amy Grant hosted the evening, and also performed some of her famous Christmas songs. Other artists featured were Dave Barnes, Susan Ashton, the Black Natvity Ensemble and some of Amy Grant’s family members. David Lipscomb’s elementary school choir and Lipscomb University’s A Capella Singers accompanied the performers on several occasions.
Guests enjoyed free hot chocolate and cookies, and children took free photos with Santa Claus. Allen Arena was also filled with vendor booths deemed the “Merry Marketplace.”
The concert was better than ever, and the night ended with the tradition of everyone singing Silent Night.
