After going virtual in 2020 due to COVID-19, the Friends for the East Cobb Park has announced that its annual Holiday Lights event will be open to the public this year.
The free festivities take place on Sunday, Dec. 5, starting at 5 p.m.
In addition to seasonal music, outdoor activities and the tree lighting, there will be a visit from Santa Claus, aka “Santa Steve.”
There also will a tribute to the late Johnny Johnson, a longtime East Cobb business owner and civic and community leader who served as the official Santa Claus of Holiday Lights.
More details will be updated on the Friends for the East Cobb Park Facebook page.
Many of the events that were also cancelled in 2020 are returning this year, sometimes in a modified format.
The Mountain View Arts Alliance is having its Empty Bowl Brunch on Dec. 12 after having an Empty Bowl Gift Bag sale last year. That’s a Sunday, and it’s taking place at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road) from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with proceeds benefitting MUST Ministries.
