Roswell Schedules Annual Holiday Celebration on the Square

Residents are invited to come out to downtown Roswell for the city’s annual Holiday Celebration on the Square.

The festivities will start 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

Join your friends and neighbors at 610 South Atlanta Street, as the city kicks off the holiday season by lighting up Roswell’s Historic Town Square.

This fun-filled, family-friendly evening includes:

• choral performances from Esther Jackson, River Eves and Hillside Elementary schools;
• a reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Roswell Mayor Jere Wood;
• tasty treats and coffee provided by Starbucks; and
• and a visit from Santa (pictures available for purchase)

Starting at 6 p.m., hop on the Holiday Bus for a free ride over to Santa’s Secret Gift Shop at the Roswell Adult Recreation Center at 830 Grimes Bridge Road. The elves have been hard at work all year so that children 12 and under can come buy gifts for their family. Gifts are affordably priced, and wrapping is provided.

The Center will also feature children’s activities such as button-making, coloring, and concessions. In addition, the Roswell Ramblers Chorus will perform holiday favorites.

All proceeds benefit the Roswell Ramblers Club. Santa’s Secret Gift Shop will also be open Sunday, December 7, and will feature the same activities, along with a special visit from Santa!

For more information, call 770-641-3950.
