If you’re up near Cumming, you can get FREE photos with Santa and a free train ride for the kids at The Collection at Forsyth.
The season kicks off with the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on Saturday, November 23, 2024, starting at 4 p.m. This is a family event, with plenty for the kids to do. It runs till 7 p.m.
You’re invited to sing along with carolers and count down with Santa and Mrs. Claus to flip the switch and light the tree. There will also be live reindeer, a petting zoo, bounce house, live music, take home craft kits, and more.
Santa will be available for pics (bring your own camera!) from 6 to 8 p.m., and you can also take pics with live reindeer.
The celebration is FREE to attend.

In addition to the tree lighting celebration above, there are plenty of dates to visit with Santa at the Collection at Forsyth.
Hours are 1 to 4 p.m.
This is a bring-your-own-camera event! You’ll be snapping photos yourself.
Santa is located at Suite 366 — but since The Collection does not have suite numbers on their map, we have no idea what part of the mall that is in.
