From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, December 4, the city lines up carriage rides, holiday hits, hot cocoa and treats, and a visit from Santa Claus together with his 'not-so-jolly friend,' the Grinch. The city warns that cocoa and treats last only while supplies hold out, so families with small children may want to arrive near the start. The evening also opens the city's complimentary carriage-ride nights downtown, and the Historic Norcross Business Association's all-day Christmas Village follows on Saturday, December 5. The city's page lists no admission fee and no registration, and it does not mention a rain plan. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Jolly Holly Day — Santa's Arrival and Tree Lighting, Suwanee Town Center Park](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/jolly-holly-day-santa-s-arrival-and-tree-lighting-suwanee-town-center--listing-4139e370a4d94e1986788806) — Fri, Dec 4 · 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Town Center Park, Suwanee · checked Oct 27.
