While some northerners have Rockefeller Center, here in Georgia we have something a bit different when it comes to holiday tree lighting ceremonies. Christmas trees are lit from the southern tip of the state to the tippy top throughout the month of November, but this ceremony might just be the best of all. Mark your calendars, because in just a few short days the biggest and best tree lighting ceremony in Georgia is here.
The Lighting of Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia is a seasonal celebration that you do not want to miss.
Taking place on Sunday, November 18th, gather up the family for a day of ice skating, face painting, holiday music, and a tree lighting ceremony for the stunning 40-foot tree by Santa Claus himself
It’s not just the lighting of the tree that people come for—it’s the opening of Avalon on Ice, the skating rink, as well as the arrival of Santa Claus.
You won’t want to miss the lights, the holiday cheer, the gathering of friends and family, and the gigantic Christmas tree all lit up in stunning glory.
