EVENT

The historic and active Downtown Presbyterian Church is still waffling!

2021 marks the 97th year of Waffle Shop

Almost a century old, the Waffle Shop began in 1925 as a fundraiser for the Downtown Presbyterian Church and evolved into a popular Nashville holiday tradition. In the early days when downtown was the center of Nashville’s retail center, the Waffle Shop marked the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. But, just like everything else in during the coronavirus pandemic, this event has adjusted over time and gone virtual for a second year.

The church will sell tickets to the 2021 Waffle Shop. Tickets must be purchased by November 26, 2021. The $15 ticket includes:

• a package of the church’s secret recipe Waffle Mix with cooking instructions

• the opportunity to shop at the church’s homemade bake sale! Most importantly, it is a contribution to the church’s community outreach program which assists less advantaged members of our community, To purchase a ticket or for more information, go to the church’s website (dpchurch.com/events/ waffle-shop-97/)
