The excitement continues at 7 p.m. with a Candy Land-themed parade complete with floats, stilt walkers and costumed characters, culminating in Santa Claus’s arrival aboard the Atlantic Station Express. The evening concludes as Atlantic Station’s spectacular 50-foot tree is lit for the very first time this season with dazzling lights, music and snow. This event is free and open to the public.
