Santa To Make 2012 Appearance in Old Town Suwanee

The annual Caboose Lighting and festival is set for Friday, November 30.

Thanksgiving is past, and in Suwanee, that means Christmas cheer in Old Town is not far behind.

The city's annual Caboose Lighting and Holiday Festival will be held Friday, November 30, beginning at 6:30 p.m., at the end of Main Street near the red caboose, according to a city news release.

The familiar routine will be in effect again. Student choruses from Level Creek, Riverside, Roberts, and Suwanee elementary schools will perform, and Santa will arrive in a tractor-pulled sleigh. (See the attached Patch video from the 2011 event).
