Several hundred people gathered at East Cobb Park at sunset on Sunday for the 19th Holiday Lights celebration.
Two giant trees framing the concert stage glistened with colorful lights against the darkened skies following a brief countdown.
The Dodgen Middle School Pops band performed, and Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived on their sleigh as the event culminated, having their pictures taken with children and their families.
The trees were lit by Butch Carter, owner of Honest-1 Auto Care, who is the 2024 East Cobb Citizen of the Year.
The celebration was organized by the volunteer group Friends for the East Cobb Park, with Wellstar Health Systems as the presenting sponsor.
Also sponsoring the event were the Rotary Club of East Cobb and Frameworks Gallery.
Congregation Etz Chaim will be holding a Menorah Lighting at East Cobb Park on Dec. 25, the first day of Hanukkah, starting at 5:55 p.m.
