You’d better watch out, and you’d better not cry…Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Center)! 

The beloved Jolly Holly Day has now expanded to become a two-day event, Jolly Holly Days! Join us for two days filled with holiday magic in Town Center Park on Friday, December 5th and Saturday, December 6th. 

On Friday night, kick off the season with the return of Suwanee’s classic holiday celebration. The evening will be filled with:

• Santa’s Magical Arrival: At 6:30 PM, Santa will make his grand entrance and be available for photos with children and families. While waiting, kids can work on their letters to Santa to deliver directly to him during their visit.
• School Performances: Enjoy festive tunes performed by choirs from Level Creek, Roberts, Riverside, and Suwanee Elementary Schools.
• Holiday Crafts & Vendors: Browse unique items to get a jump start on your gift list, or create your own holiday masterpieces at craft stations.
• Tree Lighting Ceremony: At 8 PM, help Santa light the dazzling holiday tree after a special performance by All Stars Performing Arts Academy.

On Saturday, Town Center Park will be overflowing with holiday cheer. Shop for gifts for your friends and family, enjoy hot chocolate and other festive treats from local vendors and food trucks, and more fun for the whole family. 

• Holiday Pet Parade: Dress up your furry friends in their most festive outfits and strut your stuff during the Suwanee Holiday Pet Parade at 11:30 AM. Meet at the holiday tree for a chance to win prizes for your pet's paws-itively adorable holiday look.
• Shopping Extravaganza: Explore over 80 artisan vendors offering unique handmade gifts, including paintings, pottery, jewelry, woodworking, and more. Watch live demonstrations, such as Jae Montano recreating Bob Ross’s iconic images, and find one-of-a-kind treasures for everyone on your list.
• Non-Stop Entertainment: From professional musicians to dazzling dancers and performing arts students, enjoy live performances that will fill your heart with holiday spirit.
• Festive Food: Savor delicious bites from local vendors and food trucks, offering everything from hot chocolate to international cuisine.

This is a great way to kick off the holiday season and make sure you are ALL on Santa’s nice list! Stay tuned for the entire event schedule.
