A festive night is planned in a Cherokee County city at the beginning of December.

Woodstock city officials and Carmichael Development will host the 27th annual evening event.

The Christmas Jubilee and Parade of Lights will be 5:30-9 p.m. Dec. 2 in downtown Woodstock at The Park at City Center.

At 5:30 p.m., the parade will start at Woodstock Elementary School on Rope Mill Road and travel down Main Street to Sam’s Club at Ga. 92.

After the parade, Santa will be sitting in the Gazebo, where his mailbox will be located from Nov. 27 through Dec. 10 for children to receive personalized letters from Santa.

Then Santa and Woodstock Mayor Michael Caldwell will light the 30-foot Christmas tree.

Many free offerings will include sugar plum cupcake decorating, Kris Kringle Kidz Kraft Area, more children’s activities and a “Polar Express” reading at 8 p.m. with pictures from the book being shown on a 16-foot screen.
