Choirs from Level Creek, Roberts, Riverside and Suwanee elementary schools sing holiday songs, craft stations let children make their own decorations, and vendors sell gifts alongside food trucks offering everything from hot chocolate to international dishes. At 8 p.m., after a performance by All Stars Performing Arts Academy, Santa helps light the park's holiday tree. The city says a full schedule is still to come and does not print any fees for photos, crafts or food. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Holiday Celebration with Santa and the Grinch — Thrasher Park, Norcross](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/holiday-celebration-with-santa-and-the-grinch-thrasher-park-norcross--listing-2be70a292daf7e1e1e7936ce) — Fri, Dec 4 · 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Thrasher Park, Norcross · checked Oct 27.
