Atlanta’s Atlantic Station: A Winter Wonderland of Festive Fun!
Atlanta folks, it’s that magical time of the year again! As the days get shorter and scarves make their winter debut, Atlantic Station is turning into a wonderland of holiday cheer and excitement. From November all the way to New Year’s, our favorite neighborhood is the place to be for holiday fun, festive events, and let’s not forget, photo ops galore!
Whether you’re a fan of twinkling lights or an occasional ice-skater, Atlantic Station’s got you covered. Kicking off the season with their beloved annual ice-skating rink, aptly named Skate the Station, this year’s festivities promise a toe-tapping good time from November 15 to January 20. And, if you’re feeling adventurous, don’t miss out on their themed skate nights — they’re a guaranteed fun-for-all-ages affair. Mark your calendars for events like London Night on November 23 or channel your inner Gatsby on January 14!
Speaking of crossing the pond, don’t miss the highlight of the season — the British Invasion-themed Parade of Lights at 6:30 PM on November 23. This spectacle is the grand opening of the Light the Station extravaganza and promises to delight with unique floats featuring U.K. favorites, not to mention a grand finale, the majestic 50-foot holiday tree lighting. Yep, you’ve got it: Santa himself will be there to flick the switch at around 7.00 PM.
Get Ready for a Black Friday Bash
Of course, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without a shopping spree! Black Friday at Atlantic Station promises a shopping experience minus the lines you’ve come to dread. It’s your chance to grab those deals, groove to the tunes of carolers, send off that letter to the North Pole, and indulge your sweet tooth with some cookie decorating. Look out for cute reindeers getting their photo taken, too!
And here’s a fun little treat just for you: Spend $75 or more on shopping, and you snag yourself an Atlantic Station-branded mug and hot cocoa mix. It’s like they’re saying “Welcome to the holidays, friend!” Now that’s what I call spreading the holiday spirit.
End the Night with Style
After you’ve shopped and snacked your way to holiday bliss, why not end the day by strutting your stuff in your quirkiest holiday gear? After all, it’s not just any night; it’s Ugly Sweater Night! Toast to friendship, laughter, and those brilliantly tucked away sweaters that we save for occasions just like this one.
This holiday season, if you’re looking for a mix of shopping, food, ice-skating, and loads of cherished memories, Atlantic Station seems to be the perfect go-to. It might just be the home for your holidays, bringing together the heartwarming essence you’ve been seeking. So go on, grab your nearest and dearest, and make your way over — because this is more than just a shopping district, it’s where holidays come to life!
