The open-air rink offers one-hour timed skating sessions beneath glowing string lights with specialty theme nights throughout the week, including nightly 6:00 PM Glow Nights, Disco Slide Fridays with live DJs spinning retro classics, and Saturday night costume parties where skaters in theme receive complimentary hot cocoa. Surrounding the ice rink is the whimsical Hillcrest Sparkle Village (Nov 21 – Jan 4), an enchanting walk-through trail of miniature holiday playhouses decorated with festive themes by local schools, non-profits, and community businesses. The holiday spirit peaks on Sunday, December 6 with the annual Sparkle Sandy Springs celebration, featuring an open-air holiday gift market, gourmet food trucks, live brass concerts, the illuminated nighttime Sparkle Parade marching along Blue Stone Road, and the grand joint lighting of the towering City Green Christmas Tree and Menorah. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Sparkle Sandy Springs — Parade & Holiday Celebration 2026](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/sparkle-sandy-springs-parade-and-holiday-celebration-2026--listing-1e43a82a62d55593167c7672) — Sun, Dec 6 · City Springs District — City Green, Sandy Springs · checked Oct 16.
