It's the most magical time of the year in Sandy Springs, and everyone is invited to join the city for its annual celebration, Sparkle Sandy Springs, on Sunday, December 7. Presented by the City of Sandy Springs, this festive event will transform the City Springs District into a winter wonderland, complete with favorite holiday traditions, a glowing nighttime parade, and the lighting of both the Christmas tree and Menorah.
Festivities begin at 4 p.m. at City Springs, where guests can enjoy:
Hot cocoa & more
Falling snow
Gift market
Live holiday music by Ansley Stewart
Ice skating
Over at Sparkle Wonderland, located on Mt. Vernon Hwy, families can catch the best uninterrupted views of the parade while sipping hot cocoa, playing in the snow, and posing with larger-than-life inflatable characters like Santa Claus, The Grinch, and Rudolph.
Don't miss the charming Sparkle Village near the City Green, a delightful display of miniature houses decorated by local schools and non-profits. Each home twinkles with lights and festive flair. Guests can vote for their favorite house, with the winner earning major bragging rights!
At 6 p.m., the award-winning Sparkle Parade begins at the intersection of Mount Vernon Hwy and Lake Forrest Drive, winding through City Springs and ending at Sandy Springs City Hall, and this year, it features more floats than ever before! The night culminates in a community countdown led by the mayor to light the Christmas tree and Menorah.
