Historic Downtown Norcross was filled with holiday cheer last Friday during the kickoff of the city's Sparkle! event.

Santa took photos with the kids, horse-drawn carriages were available, the Norcross First United Methodist Church choir sang Christmas classics, and the big Christmas tree in Thrasher Park was lit. Hot chocolate was provided by the Masonic Lodge downtown, and the Norcross Lions Club supplied free cookies to all.

Check out the Viewfinder above for the photos Patch snapped of the festive evening.

Sparkle! is going on all month, so be sure to check out the event page on A Place to Imagine to see the full schedule.
