Light The Station, 2018 event.
Come to Atlantic Station for the lighting of the 50-foot Christmas tree on the Atlantic Green! The annual Light the Station event is back and bigger than ever — and it’s followed by Celebration at the Station, an ongoing nightly event that is sure to delight.
The kickoff and tree lighting ceremony happens on Saturday, November 20, 2021 from 7 to 9 p.m. and it is completely FREE to attend. You’ll find musical performances, fireworks, the first Snow Show of the season, an all-new animated Jumbotron video, and more. If you can’t attend in-person, you can watch from the comfort of your living room. Light the Station will be telecast on 11ALIVE TV at 7 p.m.
After the November 20th kick-off date, the fun continues all season long with Celebration at the Station, a nightly event that will recur through January 2, 2022.

While you’re there, check out the Snow Shows!
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.
Snow Shows happen at the top of the hour from 6 to 10 p.m. (the last one is at 9 p.m. on Sundays).
