Season of Celebration Tree Lighting
November 23, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Kick off the holiday season with a 50 ft. tree lighting in Downtown Alpharetta on Saturday, November 23, 2024 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. Bring portable chairs and settle in for live holiday music from the Alpharetta City Band’s Jazz Ensemble, enchanting snow flurries, and other magical performances on the main stage in front of Alpharetta City Hall. Get a sneak peek of the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre’s annual holiday show, The Nutcracker, which will run from December 13-15 at Innovation Academy. Have your cameras out for the perfect photo with strolling characters and performers in the crowd. Santa Claus himself will also make a special appearance to hear holiday wishes and spread cheer.
Families are invited to stay warm this year by roasting marshmallows at the fire pits on Market Street or stepping into the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre’s igloo for Sugarplum Storytime. Hot beverages from The Ginger Room, Boarding Pass Coffee, and Kilwin’s will be available for purchase.
The tree lighting ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. The City of Alpharetta extends its gratitude to Evans General Contractors for generously donating the magnificent Christmas Tree.
In the spirit of giving, the City of Alpharetta is pleased to bring back its annual Holiday Food Drive, benefiting North Fulton Community Charities, from November 23 through December
15. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to support families in need, receiving a festive jingle bell bracelet as a thank-you during the Alpharetta Tree Lighting.
