Friday night’s first tree lighting at Avenue East Cobb brought out all ages.
Many of them, of course, were children, who waved red- and green-colored glowsticks as they awaited a visit from Santa.
Their parents sipped hot chocolate and munched on fare from nearby restaurants on a chilly night at the public plaza, and some huddled around heaters.
Live music played up to the culmination of the evening’s highlight—the lighting of the tree.
Shortly before 8 p.m., the tree lights went on just in front of Round Trip Brewing Co., and kids rushed to scoop up mounds of confetti.
For the next month or so, the retail center will be decked out with festive lights.
You can see the dazzling display after dark from Roswell Road as you enter, and follow trees decorated with lights and colors all around the parking and public areas.
It’s a real sight to behold.
On Dec. 29, Avenue East Cobb will hold a Menorah lighting event during Hanukkah.
