Celebrate the Season in Atlanta’s Green Heart
Light Up the Season is Piedmont Park Conservancy’s annual holiday celebration—a season of light, community and connection in Atlanta’s Green Heart.
Throughout November and December, join us for festive programs, creative workshops and community experiences that bring people together in Piedmont Park.
The season officially kicks off November 22 with our signature Lantern Parade & Lighting Celebration, a free evening of lantern-making, music and holiday cheer culminating in the lighting of Piedmont Park’s Great Tree, Menorah and Kinara.
Come celebrate, gather and make new traditions together in the Park.
