Christmas in Dawsonville

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN DOWNTOWN DAWSONVILLE

The Annual Christmas Parade and Jingle Market is in conjunction with the City of Dawsonville's Tree Lighting Ceremony each year. This is an event that brings together the community and visitors in the area.

The parade officially brings Santa Clause to City Hall where the evening entertainment and festivities continue.  Parade awards are presented to winners on stage with Best of Parade and Most Creative being the awards to snag.  "You Snap" Santa pictures provide the opportunity for families to capture their own memories with Jolly Ol' Saint Nick himself. Jingle Market creates an incredible opportunity for local vendors to sell handmade crafts alongside food trucks, music, and dancing which are highlights of the night. The Tree Lighting Ceremony is officiated by the mayor and captures the true magic of the night starting the holiday season on a joyous path. Bring the family out for a fun-filled evening.

Festivities take place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
