Light Up Ellijay Market & Parade
December 7 @ 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Light Up Ellijay Parade on December 7th is a can’t-miss kickoff to the holiday season! The downtown streets will come alive with festive vendor booths, delicious treats, and the cheerful sounds of carolers. Santa will be waiting on the courthouse steps for photos with the little ones, and the air will be filled with holiday spirit as the Gilmer Schools Chorus sings your favorite seasonal tunes.
As evening falls, the main event begins! Line the streets at 6 p.m. for the dazzling parade, complete with brightly lit floats, jolly characters, and all the holiday magic you could wish for. Afterward, some of the floats will park behind the Welcome Center for a special meet-and-greet, making this a night to remember in Ellijay!
