Several hundred East Cobbers—many of them young children happily dancing with glowsticks and awaiting the arrival of Santa—gathered around the pavilion at East Cobb Park Sunday for the annual Holiday Lights celebration.
Sponsored by the Friends for the East Cobb Park, the event also has the support of WellStar East Cobb Health Park, the East Cobb Rotary and other community organizations and businesses.
The crowd was warmed up right before dusk by the Dodgen Middle School Pops Band.
The East Cobb Rotary Club provided refreshments while the crowd waited for the tree lighting and Santa.Santa Claus arrived, and parked his sleigh right in front of the newly lighted tree.Lines of children waited their chance for a visit and photo with St. Nick.
The walking paths around East Cobb Park also were adorned with lights for the rest of the holiday season.
