This weekend promises to be a busy one in Jefferson Park, from carolers at the annual tree lighting to an outside Christmas service, and throw in the always popular holiday progressive dinner.
With temperatures expected to hover in the 40s, residents will celebrate the annual tree lighting downtown.
The festivities will include snow, thanks to snow-making technology, along with musical performances around downtown and other holiday activities.
The fun begins at 5 and wraps up at 7:30 p.m. It happens in front of City Hall at 2777 East Point St.
To keep away the chill, there will be hot cocoa and apple cider, along with baked goodies. Santa's workshop will have free crafts for kids in a heated tent. And professional photos with Santa will be available.
The good time is organized by the East Point Main Street Association. For more information visit www.DowntownEastPoint.com.
On Saturday, the always popular holiday progressive dinner is on the calendar. The dinner is one of the events that make living in Jefferson Park special. Folks float from home to home and enjoy good food and good company. If you one make on progressive dinner, make it this one.
To attend, organizers need to hear from you. A dish is usually the price of admission and to learn where the dinner is taking place. Contact Alex Soto at amsoto77@gmail.com to get more information.
And if you'd like a reminder that Christmas isn't about malls and gifts and wrapping paper, "Church on the porch" is taking place 5 p.m. Sunday at the Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church.
It is an outdoor Christmas carol service featuring the TeamKids Choir, TeamKids Puppets, and Adult Handbell Choir, takes place on the church's front steps.
