Check out our huge, day-by-day list of holiday happenings — including festivals, tree and menorah lightings, Santa visits, light shows, and more!
Celebration at the Station
This is an immersive holiday experience featuring a festive light and video show set to classic seasonal tunes.
It takes place nightly at the top of each hour, from 5 to 9 p.m., starting on Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025.
Come for the spectacle – complete with snow flurries.
Okay, so the last time we were there, the “snow” looked conspicuously like soap suds — but it may still be a magical experience for the little ones, who may not have seen much real snow in Atlanta.
We don’t have an end date for this event in 2025.
It may go through Christmas or through New Year’s Eve.
