It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As streetscapes are dressed in wreaths and ribbons and temperatures are so cold you can see your breath, Marietta Square is getting ready for its annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Santa on the Square event. There is always something festive and fun at the Marietta Square, making life in or near the City of Marietta exuberant.
The Marietta Square transforms with holiday spirit on December 5, beginning at 4 p.m. with performances by local school and church choirs. Ugly Holiday Sweater walking parade participants begin lining up at 4:45 p.m., and Santa arrives shortly after at 5:15 p.m. Following his arrival, Santa will join the mayor for the City of Marietta Christmas Tree Lighting in Glover Park at 6 p.m. Can’t make it to Santa on the Square? He will also be available for photos at the Marietta History Center beginning December 6. While you are there, make sure to check out the Festival of Trees decorated by Marietta City School students.
Shop ’til you drop at the Christmas on the Square Art Market on December 7 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Atherton Square Park.
