You are invited to join the city of Roswell for its annual tradition, Holiday Celebration on the Square, on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015.

The festivities will kick off at 5 p.m. at 610 South Atlanta Street, as the city officially opens the holiday season by lighting up Roswell’s historic Town Square.

This fun-filled, family-friendly evening includes:

• choral performances from Esther Jackson, River Eves, and Hillside Elementary schools;
• a reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Roswell Mayor Jere Wood;
• tasty treats and coffee provided by Starbucks;
• a visit from Santa (pictures available for purchase); and
• and two bicycles will be given away at the event, courtesy of Roswell Bicycles.

Starting at 6 p.m., hop on the Holiday Bus for a free ride over to Santa’s Secret Gift Shop at the Roswell Adult Recreation Center, located at 830 Grimes Bridge Road. The elves have been hard at work all year so that children 12 and under can come buy gifts for their family. Gifts are affordably priced, and wrapping is provided.

The Adult Recreation Center will also feature children’s activities such as button-making, coloring, and concessions. In addition, the Roswell Ramblers Chorus will perform holiday favorites.

All proceeds benefit the Roswell Ramblers Club.

Santa’s Secret Gift Shop will also be open Sunday, Dec. 6, and will feature the same activities, along with a special visit from Santa.

After shopping, head up to the open-air ice skating rink sponsored by Fellowship Bible Church. The rink will be open from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5 at Waller Park Extension, which is adjacent to the Adult Recreation Center.

For more information, call 770-641-3950.
