Friday evening, holiday lights will come alive and Christmas magic will fill the air in Baldwin’s Mitchell Gailey Park and Clarkesville’s Downtown Square.
Starting at 5 p.m. in Downtown Clarkesville, take part in one of the city’s favorite traditions at “A Downtown Clarkesville Christmas.” There’s something for everyone to love, from photos with Santa, joining in the downtown cookie crawl, watching the tree lighting and more holiday festivities sure to put you in the Christmas spirit.
But that isn’t the only festive event tonight, the City of Baldwin will have its annual Christmas tree lighting event, too. Beginning at 6 p.m. at Mitchell Gailey Park, there will be hot chocolate and cookies, pictures with Santa, a firepit and s’mores, a Christmas card writing station, carols and more as the city lights their Christmas tree. Make sure to bring the little ones, because Santa plans to read “The Night Before Christmas,” to make the night even more magical.
Don’t forget, tomorrow is Cornelia’s “Christmas in Cornelia” event and Cleveland’s “Christmas in the Mountains” lighted parade.
