How to Enjoy Thanksgiving in North Georgia

As the trees continue to change hues and shed the last of their fall leaves, we begin to reminisce on the past year, and think about all of the wonderful things in our life that we can be thankful for. Family, friends, our health and the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains are all reminders of how blessing we truly are. This is the time of year that we need to remember to give thanks for these wonderful things in our life, and celebrate the holidays with smiles on our faces. What better place to come together, than the Mountains of North Georgia, where you will not only be thankful for the day, but for all the memories made while visiting this special place.

Spend Thanksgiving in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia

Whether you’re heading out to eat on Thanksgiving or cooking a fabulous meal in your Morning Breeze Cabin Rental, we know you and your family will make many memories in the North Georgia Mountains this holiday season.

Get in the Holiday Spirit

After you’ve let yourself digest that big Thanksgiving meal, head to downtown Blue Ridge the Saturday after Thanksgiving for Light Up Blue Ridge. This famous Christmas festival is the perfect kick-off to the holiday season. There will be music, caroling, and of course plenty of refreshments and all-day activities. You’ll be mesmerized by the exciting lighting of the Christmas tree and you’ll even get to visit with a familiar, rosy round-faced, white-bearded jolly old man, you guessed it…Santa! He’ll be there to greet you so have in mind what you want for Christmas, we know you’ll be on the nice list this year.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is known as “blue” Friday and all the merchants from Light Up Blue Ridge will be offering deep discounts on most items. The downtown Blue Ridge area will be filled with live entertainment all day. Friday evening will also be a fun time of caroling which starts at 6pm.

Festivities begin on Saturday when Santa arrives at 11:15am. The parade will start at 5:30pm and everyone is welcome to join in on the parade! The great tree lighting will be soon afterward around 7pm.
