FREE! Celebration at the Station happens nightly
This year’s Celebration at the Station is a FREE nightly event that runs from Nov. 20th, 2022 through January 4, 2023 on and around the Atlantic Green.
It is a stunning holiday show set to a soundtrack provided by Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It integrates the 50-foot Christmas tree, the lights surrounding the Atlantic Green, the Jumbotron video, and the Snow Shows. All of this transforms the Station into a winter wonderland — and it’s all completely FREE.
Celebration occurs on the hour every evening, seven days a week. From Monday thru Saturday, from 5 to 9 p.m.
According to the website, it’s happening on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day as well.

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 5 to 9 p.m.
