Light Up Brookhaven 2023 returns to kick off the holidays

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brookhaven, GA, Nov. 17, 2023 – A gift wrapped evening of Christmas magic, all merry and bright, will launch the holiday season in Brookhaven at this year’s Light Up Brookhaven planned for Wednesday, Dec. 6 in Blackburn Park, 3493 Ashford Dunwoody Road from 6-9 p.m.

The fun-filled event will be packed with holiday-themed activities including food, music, and giveaways leading up to the dramatic arrival of Santa, once again via the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta helicopter, followed by the lighting of the City’s dazzling 40’ Christmas tree.  Rabbi Brian Glusman will also be returning this year to perform and to help light the City’s Hanukah Menorah and dreidel.

“This is by far one of my favorite annual traditions.  What a better way to begin the holiday season than joining our friends and neighbors of all faiths to celebrate this time of year,” said Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst.

Don’t forget to pose the kids with Santa and with two of Santa’s live reindeer, returning with their big red sleigh. It’s a great opportunity to get that perfect holiday greeting card photo.

Giving the gift of holiday entertainment, local music groups will come a-caroling for everyone’s entertainment. A petting zoo will be available for the kids to enjoy, and train rides through the park will also be part of the fun.

These activities are bound to work up an appetite. Food trucks will be on hand, and to take the chill off a cool December evening, the Girl Scouts will be selling hot chocolate as a holiday fundraising project.
