Perk up those ears for sleigh bells and pack the mittens, because the City of
Milton will once again provide three holiday events for residents: the fifth
annual City of Milton Tree Lighting on Friday, Nov. 29; the sixth annual
Christmas in Crabapple on Saturday, Dec. 7 in partnership with the Crabapple
Community Association (CCA); and the second annual Mayor's Holiday Open House
hosted by City Council on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Fifth annual City of Milton Tree Lighting
Milton's holiday season will kick off Friday, Nov. 29 with the fifth annual City of Milton Tree Lighting ceremony from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the corner of Ga. 9 and Webb Road.
Click here for directions to the tree lighting ceremony, which will be held in front of the Deerfield Place shopping center at Webb Road and Ga. 9.
The tree lighting ceremony will last 30 minutes, from 6:30 to 7 p.m., and include musical performances and Milton's Mayor and City Council counting down to the big moment.
After the tree is lit, good St. Nick will arrive by fire truck to the tune of "Here Comes Santa Claus."
Following the ceremony, there will be complimentary popcorn from It's My Party Rentals, free hot chocolate from American Family Care, photos by Blencoe and Co. Photographic Arts with Santa Claus and holiday music. It's an evening of fellowship with your neighbors - not to mention a perfect opportunity to get some holiday shopping done at one of the Ga. 9/Deerfield Parkway corridor's many retailers.
