And yes, the gorgeous display of holiday trees is back with the 2020 Tinsel Trail – a delightful sight along the city’s Riverwalk and the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.

Over 150 trees, sponsored by local businesses, organizations, and individuals, will be festively decked out through early next month for all to enjoy. Proceeds from the Tinsel Trail benefit Tuscaloosa’s One Place.

Something New: “Holly Jolly in the Park”

Jaycee Park is the place to be at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 11. “Holly Jolly in the Park” is a socially distanced, free movie experience featuring “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch.”

The event was announced on Nov. 23 by Tuscaloosa City Councilman Kip Tyner.

“Our parks are a place where families can come and enjoy the fresh air and socially distanced fun,” Tyner said.

The entrance/exit to the park event will be on Kicker Road. Families can watch the movie from their own vehicles (drive-up style) and there will also be lawn seating available (bring your own chairs and blankets).

Food trucks will be on site, and Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for Photo Credit: Tuscaloosa’s One Place
