Santa Claus will ride down Marietta Street toward Thurman Springs Park, led by the Powder Springs community and council members, as the city’s annual Christmas Parade returns Friday, Dec. 2. The 6:30 p.m. parade kicks off an evening of festivities and a monthlong celebration of the holidays.
The parade will travel down Marietta Street to downtown and conclude near Thurman Springs Park, where the fun will continue within the park and at the Hardy Family Automotive Amphitheater, which will be the site of the 7:30 p.m. Tree Lighting Ceremony. Complimentary Santa photos, cookies and cocoa will be offered during the event, which will also feature holiday performances from local groups.
On Saturday, Dec. 3, and running through Jan. 5, families can complete the “Reindeer Scavenger Hunt” that will have participants hunt for missing reindeer across the city. Once completing the “Reindeer Scavenger Hunt,” participants can stop by The Book Worm Bookstore at 4451 Marietta St. to pick up a special prize bag. Details of the scavenger hunt will be available on the city’s website, cityofpowdersprings.org, starting in December.
