Check presentationChristmas Village is one of the oldest charitable events in Nashville, supported and run entirely by volunteers from the Nashville Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club. Approximately 250 merchants and 30,000 shoppers from all over the United States participate in this prestigious consumer show. A variety of unique seasonal and gift items are offered, including- toys for all ages, clothing for children and adults, jewelry, home decor, food items, pottery, collectibles, and unusual pieces for the “person who has everything.”

Berenice Miller Denton and Barbara White Fridrich, the first co-chairs, planned a Christmas fairyland with displays from local merchants. The event started as a one-day event that netted $1020 and has grown to a 4-day shopping extravaganza that is recognized as one of the premier shopping events in the southeast.

Christmas Village has generated over $14.7 million benefiting thousands of people since its inaugural event in 1961. The proceeds support:
