The 30th annual Season to Remember Memorial Service is scheduled for Thursday evening, December 12, at 5:45 p.m. in Centennial Park.

The service is organized by the police department’s Family Intervention Program, along with the District Attorney’s Office, Tennessee Voices for Victims, and the United States Attorney’s Office.
Family members and friends of homicide victims will have the opportunity to place Christmas ornaments on a tree in the Children’s Garden as a tribute to their loved ones. Additionally, the service will feature the lighting of the Menorah to commemorate Hanukkah and the Kinara to commemorate Kwanzaa. Since its inception in 1995, this annual event has provided a space for families and friends to come together and honor their loved ones with Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa decorations on a special evergreen tree.
