The Battery Atlanta Holiday Tree Lighting & Festivities (Truist Park)

About this adventure

On the Saturday following Thanksgiving, The Battery Atlanta (home of the Atlanta Braves and Truist Park) transforms its lively pedestrian entertainment district into a family holiday paradise. Centered at the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage and the Plaza Green, the afternoon kicks off with live performances by regional youth choirs and brass ensembles, roaming Atlanta Braves mascots, and hands-on holiday craft workshops hosted by the Children's Museum of Atlanta. As twilight descends at 7:00 PM, Santa Claus arrives on the plaza to lead the countdown lighting of the monumental 40-foot Christmas tree, which dances with synchronized holiday melodies. Following the tree illumination, families can snuggle under blankets on the turf lawn for a free outdoor holiday movie screening on the giant amphitheater screen, plus letter-writing at Santa's Post Office.
