Things to Do In North Atlanta – December 3rd-5th

December 2, 2021 by Gail & Claire McCown Leave a Comment

We don’t know about you, but we are loving having Christmas in full swing!  If you’re not quite feeling the holiday cheer yet, don’t worry.  There are so many Christmas events this weekend sure to get you feeling festive. 🎄

Grab the kids and head to Halcyon to welcome Santa as he arrives at the Holiday Kick-Off Celebration, get some shopping done at the Christmas market in Alpharetta, or jog off some of that Thanksgiving turkey at Suwanee’s 4th Annual Run Run Rudolph 5K.

If you love chili, you can’t miss the Chili Cookoff at Six Bridges Brewing!  Not only do you get to enjoy some comfort food, all of the proceeds go to a good cause, benefitting the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation.

We’re supposed to have a gorgeous weekend, so make sure to head out and enjoy some of the many wonderful events North Atlanta has to offer!
