There won’t be an in-person Holiday Lights event at East Cobb Park this year due to COVID-19, but the Friends for the East Cobb Park organization will be presenting a virtual celebration for the public instead.
That’s slated for Sunday, Dec. 6, starting at 6 p.m., and you can watch all the festivities on the Friends’ Facebook page.
Those festivities will be beamed via a livestream—caroling, a message from Santa Claus, and the tree lighting.
A number of other holiday events in the East Cobb area have gone virtual or have been altered, and most of the area’s holiday craft fairs have been cancelled or have gone online.
Earlier this week, the Mountain View Arts Alliance—which stages the Empty Bowl Brunch at The Art Place—announced an Empty Bowl Gift Bag sale that includes a cookbook with recipes from 20 years of the event.
The park was closed for several weeks in the spring, and in September the Friends group began sponsoring Sunday Funday concerts, typically held in the late afternoon daylight hours and with social-distancing and masking protocols.
The presenting sponsor for those events, as well as Holiday Lights, has been Wellstar.
