Atlanta, we are thankful for the weekend. What about you? Start celebrating the new month and holiday season with these fantastic local events!
Friday
Gather at the Georgia Aquarium for their annual tree lighting event! Attend the famous galleries one hour before they open to the general public and enjoy hot chocolate, treats, holiday carols, a tree lighting ceremony and a penguin waddle.
