Garden Lights, Holiday Nights – Atlanta Botanical Garden
If you haven’t experienced Midtown’s favorite holiday tradition, now is the time. Garden Lights, Holiday Nights returns with its breathtaking “Nature’s Wonders” display, featuring the world’s largest curtain of light synchronized to music. It’s a whole vibe. Walking through the glowing tunnels and seeing the Orchestral Orbs dance to the beat is an annual ritual for many ATLiens. This walkable experience runs through Jan. 11, 2026.
Fantasy in Lights – Callaway Gardens
Looking to escape the city hustle? Take a ride down to Pine Mountain for Fantasy in Lights. This legendary display lets you cruise through seven miles of enchanting scenes, including the mesmerizing “Christmas Tree Lane.” You can drive your own car or hop on the Jolly Trolley for an open-air experience. With a massive Christmas Village to explore afterward, it’s the perfect weekend getaway.
World of Illumination’s Candy Rush – Marietta
For those with a sweet tooth, Six Flags White Water has transformed into a sugar-coated dreamscape. Candy Rush is a mile-long drive-through show featuring millions of animated lights, sugar plum fairies, and a gigantic gingerbread village. It’s fully synchronized to your favorite holiday jams, making it a high-energy experience the kids will talk about until next Christmas.
Stone Mountain Christmas
Celebrate the season with a side of spectacle at Stone Mountain Park. Beyond the millions of lights, families can enjoy a festive parade, live performances, and a jaw-dropping drone show that lights up the night sky. It’s a full evening of entertainment that brings the magic of the holidays to life right in our backyard.
Lights of Joy – Kennesaw
Sometimes, the best magic is homegrown. Lights of Joy is Georgia’s largest residential display, boasting over 1.2 million lights. What started as a family passion project has grown into a massive, must-see attraction. It’s a free, walkable display that truly captures the community spirit of the season.
WildWoods: AGLOW – Fernbank Museum
For a unique twist, head to the Fernbank Museum for WildWoods: AGLOW. This multi-sensory experience blends nature with glowing sculptures and projections, highlighting the beauty of the natural world at night. It’s immersive, educational, and absolutely stunning.
Grab your crew, pack some hot cocoa, and get ready to light up the night. This season is all about connection, celebration, and soaking in the beauty of our vibrant communities. Happy Holidays, Atlanta
