SMYRNA — Over the next six days, Cobb will kick off the holiday season with Christmas tree–lighting ceremonies around the county.
Smyrna is the first to light its tree, with an event scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. tonight at the Village Green outside the Smyrna Community Center, 200 Village Green Circle, off Atlanta Road SE. The tree is scheduled to be lit at 7 p.m.
Despite calls for rain and snow today and a high of 40 degrees, Patty Wilson, senior recreation coordinator for Smyrna’s parks department, said the city is planning to go ahead with the event.
“If it’s just sprinkling and misting, we’ll still have the tree lighting outside,” Wilson said.
Even in the case of heavy rain, Wilson said the event would continue indoors. Several local school chorus and orchestra groups will perform inside the community center. In addition, a Holiday Bazaar will feature arts and crafts, while children can visit with Santa Claus.
Santa will take a break from tree lightings on Wednesday, but they pick back up Thursday in Marietta. Events start at 5 p.m. at Glover Park on Marietta Square. Santa will arrive at 5:20 p.m., with the tree lighting scheduled for 6 p.m.
Santa will continue to visit children in the gazebo until 8 p.m.
If you miss Santa on Thursday, you can continue to catch him at his workshop on the Square on weekends up until Christmas.
Other tree-lighting ceremonies include:
* The Vinings Jubilee Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony with Santa will be 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at 4300 Paces Ferry Road, just off Paces Mill Road.
