March on Over to Ball Ground This Holiday Season

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s time to get the family out of the house to enjoy a beautiful day in Ball Ground. Being out in the cool, crisp air feels so refreshing. There’s just something so relaxing about seeing a beautiful blue sky while being surrounded by colder temperatures. Since the days are shorter and holiday decorations have begun to show up in neighborhoods and retail establishments, it can only mean one thing: Christmas and the New Year are just around the corner.

Ball Ground goes into full Santa mode during this time of year, preparing for his arrival by creating a hometown Christmas vibe! Store fronts are decorated, sleigh bells will be ringing, and snow will be falling, as families line the streets to anxiously await Santa’s arrival for the March of the Toys Parade for Toys for Tots. This event has become an annual tradition for many families. Folks come from all over the north Georgia and greater Atlanta area to see this special event in Ball Ground.

If you have never attended the annual March of the Toys Parade for Toys for Tots, you do not know what you are missing. This year is the fifth year for this parade, which consistently gets bigger and better. Santa Tim Cavender and his elves work tirelessly almost year-round planning for this event.

Alex Quarles, who played Tom Cruise’s son in American Made, has the distinct honor of being this year’s grand marshal. Making his first appearance this year will be Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean along with R2-D2, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and the wonderful characters from The Wizard of Oz, who will be stepping off the Yellow Brick Road along with other Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion to once again participate in this year’s parade. There will also be decorated trucks and floats as well as marching bands. It’s everything a parade should be and more!

Mom and Dad, don’t forget to bring your camera! Following the parade, Santa and other toy characters can be found in City Park. What a great time to capture a special photo of your child with Santa and his or her favorite toy character!

When coming to the parade, please bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots campaign. Collection boxes can be found along the parade route and in City Park.

When visiting Ball Ground, be sure to visit its merchants. You’ll find the latest in women’s fashions and home décor. Skip the mall madness, and shop close to home. And after a day of shopping, you will not want to leave without eating at one of Ball Ground’s many restaurants.

In Ball Ground, friends and neighbors are greeted with a hug and a smile. On behalf of the City of Ball Ground, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
