In the tradition of Christmas markets held throughout Europe since the 14th century comes Atlanta's first annual Holiday Lights and Market in Grant Park, December 11-13, 2009. Sponsored by the Grant Park Conservancy, the Holiday Lights and Market will feature live entertainment, sparkling lights, food and an artist market.
The festival is held in cooperation with the 28th annual Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes (December 12-13), which is sponsored by St. Paul United Methodist Church, the Grant Park Parent Network and the Grant Park Cooperative Preschool. The Holiday Lights and Market will serve as a unique destination for Atlantans interested in purchasing holiday gifts or just looking to get into the spirit of the season.
