Review & FAQ:

The Atlanta Children's Christmas Parade is the American Southeast's largest holiday parade, held at the beginning of December each year and sponsored by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The parade was first held in 1981 and has become one of the city's top annual events, showcasing impressive floats and balloons alongside marching bands and civic organizations. It travels down downtown Atlanta's Peachtree Street , with public viewpoints offered all the way down the parade route. Attendees are advised to arrive early to secure prime viewing spots, including bleacher seating along the route. Before the parade, an annual Breakfast with Santa event is held at the Four Seasons Atlanta Hotel for an additional fee.
