Photo Spread — Santa’s Arrival

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Wide-eyed kids — and some adults, too — welcomed Santa to downtown Acworth last month to kick off the Christmas season. Presented by the city of Acworth and NorthStar Church, the holiday celebration featured live performances, children’s activities, Mayor Tommy Allegood reading “The Night Before Christmas,” a tree lighting, s’mores and photos with Santa. The festivities were the perfect way to begin the 2022 Christmas season.
