The Battery Atlanta is getting into the spirit with a full lineup of activities to celebrate the holiday season and bring families together. The entertainment destination will kick off the festivities with its annual tree lighting and once again welcome families for Free Santa visits, presented by Truist. The party continues with The New Year’s Eve Bash presented by Xfinity.

“Visiting The Battery Atlanta is an established tradition for so many families in the community," said Vice President of Marketing Lauren Abernethy. "It's a special time of year, and we are grateful that we can be a go-to spot for our friends, neighbors and visitors create lasting memories each season."

The Battery Atlanta will kick off the holiday festivities on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 5:30 p.m. with the Tree Lighting ceremony presented by Wellstar at the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage. The event will include entertainment from world-class talent A-Town A-List. Mark Owens and Atlanta Braves’ mascot BLOOPER will watch the skies to help track Santa as he nears closer to The Battery Atlanta. Following the festivities, families may cuddle up on the green to watch the fifth film in the Xfinity Movie Series, The Grinch, on the plaza screen.

Santa Claus is once again setting up shop at his Post Office in The Battery Atlanta!  From Friday, Nov. 25 to Saturday, Dec. 24, Santa will continue the time-honored tradition of greeting local children in the Community Corner presented by Truist, located at the corner of Power Alley and Battery Avenue. Families are invited to bring their handwritten letters to Santa – postage not required – at his official Atlanta outpost. Santa’s helpers will take care of the rest!
