Sparkle Sandy Springs Dec. 4, 2022

The Sparkle Sandy Springs Parade returns to kick off the holidays at City Springs! In addition to the traditional menorah and tree lighting, this year's event will include a festive concert featuring The Rupert's Orchestra and the Sparkle Holiday Gift Market. The event ushers in the Sparkle Village, a month-long display of miniature lit homes. These six-foot-tall wooden houses are decorated by local businesses, schools, and nonprofits. 

The festivities begin at 4 p.m. with the parade stepping off at 6 p.m.   

Want to join the parade?

Be a part of the Sparkle Brigade, create your own float, or give your lanterns from the Lantern Parade another reason to shine! Deadline to join the Sparkle Brigade is Nov 18.
