Downtown Historic Norcross South
Peachtree Street, Norcross, 30071
December 2 - 21, carriage rides, Santa sightings and much much more make
SPARKLE! a must-do family tradition during the holidays. Friday, December 2, is
the official opening of SPARKLE! Historic Norcross’ annual celebration of the
holidays. It begins in Thrasher Park at 7pm, when the towering limbs of the
community Christmas tree will burst into color and light. Santa will be on hand
for a free photo sessions and a horse-drawn carriage will carry visitors
throughout the historic downtown district. All month long, the city will
celebrate the holidays with music, carriage rides, Santa sightings (and photo
opps!), teddy bear teas and cultural arts activities. On December 10th, the City
Cemetery will gently glow in the annual Celebration of Lights, a time when the
community gathers to light hundreds of candles in memory of those who have
passed.
Various groups in the community will be celebrating Chanukah
while others offer Christmas pageantry, as well as rewarding opportunities to
reach out to families in need. Once again, the Norcross First United Methodist
Church will be offering free gift wrapping - they have Chanukah wrappings, too!
Folks are encouraged to “bring all of your gifts” to Gordon Tomlinson’s law
office at 15 S. Peachtree Street on December 16th from 6pm – 8:30pm, and again
on Saturday, December 17th between 10am – 5pm.
SPARKLE! continues through
December 22nd, keeping weekdays and weekends brimming with holiday energy. For a
complete schedule of what is happening around town, visit

on the home page calendar.
