Enjoy the Holiday Season with Christmas at Callanwolde

Breakfast Room Entry at Callanwolde

Atlanta, GA: Callanwolde Fine Arts Center has taken a beloved 40+ year Atlanta Christmas at Callanwolde tradition--touring the beautifully decorated interior of the mansion-- and added an exciting new nighttime event for this year!

Beginning at 6 PM on November 21, Callanwolde has partnered with Illuminating Design Inc. to transform the grounds and gardens of the historic Candler Estate into a spectacular wonderland of lights -ALL NEW-- for Christmas at Callanwolde. There's no better way to get into the holiday spirit than strolling through this festival of lights---until now, sights like this existed only in your imagination. Bring the kids, grandparents, neighbors and friends and experience our 23 foot RGB LED tree featuring 37 billion color combinations all choreographed to your favorite holiday classics.

Adding to the magic of the night will be a singing forest and a kids-only area where it snows. Also, children can mail their letters to Santa and eat treats along the way. Unique photo opportunities and illuminated giftware will be available on-site as well. Sip hot chocolate (cash bar with water, soda, beer and wine available too) and enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas in a whole new way. Make a holiday memory this year that the kids will remember for a lifetime!

This year, Callanwolde offers a full day of Christmas fun and memory-making. During the day, visitors will enjoy the Atlanta tradition established over 40 years ago of touring the interior of the mansion to see each room uniquely decorated for the holidays by professional interior and floral designers. The Holiday Gala will take place December 1st and children’s events such as Teddy Bear Tea and Breakfast with Santa are held throughout the 16-day celebration.

The Callanwolde Holiday Gala is an evening of holiday magic at the Mansion. Live entertainment will be provided by the Atlanta Pops Orchestra, John Driskell Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band, Michelle Malone, and The Vaudevillains. The Gala is fully catered and valeted with an open wine and beer bar for all partygoers. Dress in your festive holiday attire and bid on some very exciting items at our Holiday Silent Auction such as celebrity signed guitars, getaways, and more.

Visitors can shop for handmade gifts from Callanwolde’s instructors and students at the Callanwolde Artisan Market open daily in the mansion. The Holiday Flowers Demo and Workshop, presented by Faith Flowers with professional artist Laura Iarocci, is available so you can bring home your creations to enjoy with the family.
