Happy New Year, Cookeville
Happy New Year, Cookeville! We're kicking off 2026 with a wonderful lineup of activities to help you ease into the new year.
Whether you're looking to learn a new craft, get moving with fitness classes, or simply gather with friends, this week has something for everyone.
We found several events happening around town—from a hands-on candle making workshop to free dance classes and community circles.
It's the perfect week to try something new or reconnect with familiar faces in our community!

TO DO
Get Crafty with Candle Making
Start your Tuesday morning with something creative at the CANDLE MAKING Workshop happening January 7th from 8:00-10:00 AM. There's something special about creating with your hands, and candle making is one of those crafts that feels both therapeutic and practical—you'll walk away with something beautiful you made yourself.
It's a great way to learn a new skill while meeting fellow crafters in our community. Perfect for a chilly winter morning when you want to do something cozy and creative!
