While some northerners have Rockefeller Center, here in Georgia we have something a bit different when it comes to holiday tree lighting ceremonies. Christmas trees are lit from the southern tip of the state to the tippy top throughout the month of November, but this ceremony might just be the best of all. Mark your calendars, because in just a few short days the biggest and best tree lighting ceremony in Georgia is here.

The Lighting of Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia is a seasonal celebration that you do not want to miss.
