Every once in a while it’s nice to get out of your own town or city and explore a little bit of your state. This is especially true during the holidays in Georgia. There is so much going on in other parts of the state. For example, nothing can be more perfect this holiday than visiting the charming town of Santa Claus, Georgia. However, there is another small town to add to your holiday radar, and this is one festive tradition you do not want to miss.
Every year in Albany, Georgia there is a holiday event that draws people in from all over the state.
