ALPHARETTA, GA — The Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau is hosting a “Free Pictures With Santa” event on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Alpharetta Welcome Center.

Families are encouraged to stop by for a complimentary individual or family photo with Santa Claus. A photo will be printed onsite and emailed instantly to each person, so it can be shared with family and friends. Attendees are advised to not wear green clothing as the photographer will be using a “green screen” and green clothing will interfere with the photo quality.

“Alpharetta must be on Santa’s nice list since this is his eighth year in a row visiting our Welcome Center,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. “This event continues to grow more popular each year, and we are looking forward to showcasing the Alpharetta Welcome Center and the CVB’s complimentary event planning services to all the families who come by that day.”
