Fire Pit Friday returns to Tom Lee Park with a new, festive twist!

Join Memphis River Parks Partnership every Friday in December at Visionary Grove—located on Riverside Drive just south of the green roof at Beale Street Landing (look for the Ben & Jerry's truck)—from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. to celebrate the holiday season. Cozy up by the fire with festive treats, holiday tunes, salsa moves and if you’ve been nice, some magical Santa sightings.

Weekly highlights (Weather Permitting):
- Special Holiday Perks from Jasper Float & Spa: On Friday, 12/6, 12/13 and 12/20, Jasper Float & Spa brings the ultimate Dream Zone experience to the riverfront, featuring relaxing samples, sleep essentials and a chance to win a 60-minute relaxation massage. Pamper yourself with gift cards, priority booking for spa services and enjoy a 20% discount on all services—a perfect way to recharge for the holidays.

- Friday, 12/6 - Storytime with Santa 🎅: Santa Claus kicks off the fire pit season at the riverfront with a storytime by the fire at 5:30 p.m. Little ones (and the young at heart) can enjoy a magical evening of holiday tales. (Photos with Santa start at 4:45 p.m.)

- Friday, 12/13 - Salsa by the Fire 💃: Santa returns with friends from the Rumba Room for a fiery night of salsa. Enjoy a salsa lesson and lively performance beginning at 5:30 p.m. Perfect for all levels, this holiday salsa celebration will keep you warm even on a chilly night. (Photos with Santa start at 4:45 p.m.)

- Friday, 12/20 - Ugly Sweater Night 🎄: It’s Santa’s last stop at Tom Lee Park before the North Pole, so bring your best ugly holiday sweater for a night of festive fun. (Photos with Santa start at 4:45 p.m.)

- Friday, 12/27 - Wishing Fire 🔥: Close out Fire Pit Fridays with a serene evening by the fire. No Santa, no s’mores—just a warm fire and community vibes to reflect, connect and write wishes for the new year.

Limited free s’mores will be available at the first three events, so arrive early to enjoy this treat. Guests are welcome to bring (and share) their own s’more ingredients—skewers will be provided.
