Tis the season to be jolly, Atlanta

The winter holidays are just around the corner!  Let’s have a look at what Atlanta has in store to get your festive spirit into gear:

The Lighting of Atlantic Station

November 19, Noon – 9 p.m. ( 1380 Atlantic Drive)

Winter celebration would not be complete without the visual spectacle of lights. One of the brightest holiday trees will come to life in a festive all-day celebration at the Atlantic Station. Live music, arts, crafts, and dazzling fireworks will create a merry atmosphere. If that isn’t enough, maybe the LIVE REINDEEER in Central Park will motivate you to take a jolly stroll downtown and check it out!

Indie Craft Experience Holiday Shopping Spectacular

November 19 – 20, 11 a.m. –  6 p.m., Ambient Plus Studio (585 Wells St.)

Everyone hates and tries to avoid last minute gift shopping. Coming up with gift ideas each year can be tough and browsing the main street stores can prove un-inspirational. Sometimes you just want to get something original, different from all the other gifts. So here’s a tip for this year: GO INDIE!

The ICE Holiday Shopping Spectacular will showcase over 100 of the best crafters around. From garments and accessories to paintings and toys, this will be the ideal place to find something special for everyone, no matter the age. If you think it will be just another dull, hectic shopping day, think again! DJ Zano will liven up the atmosphere and you’ll be able to enjoy delicious bites from the likes of the Good Food Truck, Coleman & Fox Bakery and many more.
