Saturday night, the city of Senoia kicks off its holiday festivities with “Light Up Senoia,” a colorful Main Street parade and celebration.

“Light Up Senoia” will include live music, decorated floats, the East Coweta High School marching band, and music provided by Jim McKnight. The parade begins at 5:30 p.m.

The “Car Guys,” Charlie Filkins and Scott Sargeant, will emcee the event. For the kids, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there along with pony rides and the lighting of the big tree. Parents may bring their cameras to take a photo of their child with Santa in his sleigh.

For hungry spectators, the food court with Chick-Fil-A, barbeque, pizza, and homemade baked goods opens at 4 p.m.
