Marietta: Christmas Tree Lighting & Santa on the Square
December 5
On December 5, the Marietta Square illuminates with holiday cheer, festive faces and a warm glow from the main attraction: the Christmas tree! But, this family friendly community event is so much more than a tree lighting. The hours of 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. will host local performances, a chance to write letters to Santa, an ugly sweater parade, an arrival from Santa himself and lighting of tree—marking the official start of the holiday season in Marietta!
