Earlier this week we noted that The Avenue East Cobb’s Christmas tree lighting has been scheduled for Friday was postponed due to rain.
That’s now set to take place next Friday, Dec. 11, from 5-8 p.m. That’s also the first of two days of carriage sleigh rides, along with Friday, Dec. 18. Both of those events will take place from 4-7 p.m.
The Avenue East Cobb also got in touch later in the week to let us know that next Thursday, Dec. 10, there’s going to be a Menorah lighting event at 5 p.m.
Cantor Kassel from Temple Beth Tikvah will lead in Hanukkah Blessings, songs and music, and there will be blue glow bracelets for the kids.
This is a free event that will take place at the Silver Menorah at the fountain between Bravura Fashion and Michael’s.
As we noted earlier, all these events will take place with health and safety protocols.
The Christmas tree lighting on Friday includes a holiday music show, gift card giveaway, a hot chocolate bar and more. The event is sponsored by East Cobb Church and will take place weather permitting.
There are no reservations required; guests must adhere to CDC guidelines during the event and maintain a six-feet distance and wear a mask. Guests will sanitize their hands before entering the event area. Folding chairs are permitted.
More info about those events can be found here.
ICYMI—on Sunday the Friends for the East Cobb Park will have a “virtual” Holiday Lights celebration starting at 6 p.m. that’s streaming on the organization’s Facebook page. There will be caroling, a special message from Santa Claus and the tree lighting at the park.
And don’t forget to let us know if you have lights displays this holiday season you’d like others to come see.
East Cobb News is putting together a map that will let the public know what’s close by for them to view.
E-mail us your information,photos, etc. at editor@eastcobbnews.com ideally within the next week; we’re aiming to post this by mid-December.

Shame! All these events should be cancelled due to spiking COVID-19 cases in the County. Putting greed above public health.
Or people can go if they choose. Most people prefer an option.
