🎄✨ What an incredible night in our city! ✨🎄

My heart is still full after seeing our streets come alive for the Annual Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting🎄Each year our holiday cheer grows bigger, brighter, and more beautiful — and Friday night was no exception 💫

A huge THANK YOU to our outstanding Powder Springs Parks & Recreation Team for transforming our downtown into a winter wonderland. Your creativity and dedication set the stage for a magical evening. ❄️

To our Powder Springs Police Department, THANK YOU for keeping everything running safely and smoothly. Your presence and professionalism allowed families to enjoy the night with peace of mind. 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

And to the McEachern High School Band — WOW! Your energy, talent, and festive spirit made the parade come alive. You set the tone for the celebration, and the whole city felt it! 💙💛

Finally, a big shout-out to the one and only Santa and Mrs Claus for taking time out of their very busy schedule to help us light the tree and spread pure Christmas joy. 🎅🏻🤶🏻✨

Thank you to every resident who showed up, smiled, waved, and helped make the night unforgettable. Our community shines a little brighter each Holiday Season — and it’s all because of YOU. ✨️
