Santa Visiting Acworth on Friday

Staff Report

It’s that special time again! The City of Acworth is excited to be partnering with NorthStar Church to make this year’s Santa’s Arrival the best yet! Santa will be reaching the Depot in downtown Acworth on Friday, December 5th. Festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. and Santa is scheduled to arrive at 6:30 p.m. There will be a host of live performances until 9:00 p.m. to help Santa kickoff the holiday season.

Bring the entire family to hear Mayor Tommy Allegood read The Night Before Christmas and watch the lighting of the tree on Main Street.

Enjoy pictures with Mr. Claus, eating candy canes with all his elves, and filling the streets with the holiday spirit. There will be puppet shows, face painting, train rides, marshmallow roasting, hot chocolate and a live nativity. Don’t forget to visit Frana Brown Park, where you can peruse the beautiful Festival of Trees!

Arrive at the Depot at 5:15 p.m. to schedule your picture time with Santa. Pictures begin at 6:45 p.m. Time slots for pictures are limited and only those who have reserved a time will be able to take pictures with Santa, so be sure to arrive early to schedule your picture time. This year we will not have a photographer onsite, so plan on bringing your camera to capture the special moment.
