The Holiday Lights celebration is just a couple weeks away, and today the Friends for the East Cobb Park released some details about the festivities.
The date is Sunday, Dec. 3, from 5-7:30 p.m., and follows a familiar schedule from past years. The main sponsors are Wellstar Health System and the Rotary Club of East Cobb.
Music will kick off the event at the concert stage, with Director John Jeffries and the Dodgen Pops performing, followed by Director Thomas Chafin and the Wheeler Chorus.
At 6 p.m., the annual tree lighting will be done by this year’s East Cobb Citizen of the Year, Irene Barton, a member of the East Cobb Civitan Club.
Shortly after 6, Santa will arrive in his sleigh with Mrs. Santa and Rudolph, and will be on stage to meet every child who wants to see him. Parents will have the opportunity to take pictures of their children with Santa.
Elected and other public officials also will be on hand and will be introduced.
Admission is free, but the Friends group will be selling festive items. Alumni Cookie Dough, one of the event’s sponsors, will be selling cookie dough delicious treats and hot chocolate will proceeds going to the Friends group.
The group also will have a table with membership information about the organization, which puts on special events at East Cobb Park and has also recently started a garden club.
Like other events at East Cobb Park, including concerts, you’re free to bring chairs/blankets and your own food. Public parking will be available in the upper lot only.
