With the start of December comes a busy slate of holiday festivities in the East Cobb area, leading off on Friday with the return of the Apple Annie Arts and Crafts Show.
More than 100 vendors will be selling their wares from 9-6 Friday and 9-2 Saturday at the Catholic Church of St. Ann (4905 Roswell Road), along with food from an on-site café and treats at the bake sale.
There also will be the Artisan Gift and Handmade Quilt raffles and plenty of holiday music. Admission is $5 and proceeds benefit local charities.
Overflow parking is at The Episcopal Church of St. Peter and St. Paul (1795 Johnson Ferry Road), with free shuttle service.
Friday marks the first of a five-show holiday performance of an unusual twist on “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” at CenterStage North Theatre/The Art Place.
Subtitled “A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts,” this the 15th annual tour by the Styckes Upon Thump Repertory Company.
Shows are Friday and Saturday night, as well as Dec. 8 and 9, with a matinee at 2 p.m. this Sunday only.
On Saturday, holiday fun for the whole family is in store at tbe Sewell Mill Cultural Center’s Winter Festival.
It takes place from 10-3 at the library and cultural center (2051 Lower Roswell Road) amid the facility’s 12 Days of Christmas market, and will include holiday arts and crafts workshops, gift-wrapping, kids’ storytime and photos with Cobb PARKS. The event is free, but registrations is required for the photo sessions.
If you want holiday music to enjoy, the Cobb New Horizons Symphony is holding its annual Sounds of the Seasons Concert from 2-4 p.m. Saturday at the Lassiter Concert Hall (2601 Shallowford Road). Admission is free.
An East Cobb tradition since 1992 returns Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings. It’s the Bethlehem Walk display at Mountain View Church (2300 Jamerson Road), and the interactive event takes place from 7-9 p.m. each night.
Visitors walk through the streets of Bethlehem to recapture the atmosphere leading up to Christ’s birth, followed by treats and hot apple cider.
Putting a festive bow on the weekend will be the presentation of Holiday Lights at East Cobb Park as it turns dark on Sunday.
There will be music from local school children and a DJ and hot chocolates and other treats before the park’s trees are lighted and Santa Claus arrives on his sleigh. Kids can have their photos taken with St. Nick.
