    The Battery Atlanta will have the following activities to celebrate the holidays.

    Holiday festivities will kick off at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 30 with the Tree Lighting ceremony, presented by Wellstar, at the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage. The event will include entertainment from The Free.

    Mark Owens and Atlanta Braves’ mascot BLOOPER will watch the skies to help track Santa as he draws closer to The Battery Atlanta. Following the festivities, families can cuddle on the green to watch the eighth film in the Xfinity Movie Series, “How The Grinch Stole Christmas,” on the plaza screen.

    Santa Claus will set up shop at his Post Office in The Battery Atlanta from Nov. 22 to Dec. 24 and greet local children in the Truist Community Corner, located at the corner of Power Alley and Battery Avenue. Families can bring handwritten letters to Santa – postage not required – at his official Atlanta outpost. Santa’s helpers will take care of the rest.

    This free opportunity allows parents and guardians to take their own photos of their children interacting with Santa as he listens to their wish lists. As needed, Santa’s Post Office can be a contactless experience. The Community Corner, presented by Truist, will also house the Holiday Market, featuring a shoppable collection of Atlanta-area diverse-owned small businesses. Additional activities include photo ops, giveaways, a free gift wrap station and other family-friendly activities.

    The Battery Atlanta will ring in 2025 with its annual New Year’s Eve Bash, presented by Xfinity. It will feature an early countdown geared towards families and a traditional late-night show leading into the New Year.

    The Early Innings, for those wishing to ring in the New Year with family and kids will begin at 6 p.m. in the Plaza. It concludes with a branded inflatable baseball drop at 8 p.m. and will include a performance by Grammy nominee Brady Rymer.

    The Late Innings festivities will start at 9 p.m., with A-Town A-List providing the entertainment from the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage. The midnight countdown includes pyrotechnics and will kick off the New Year with a confetti and aerial fireworks display.

    Free parking is available in the Red, Green and Purple Decks for two hours on non-event days at The Coca-Cola Roxy.
