Santa Photos Plans Can't Be Made Too Soon

ATLANTA — It may not be Christmas in July, but now is the time to reserve your family’s time with Santa Claus when he visits Atlanta’s “Castle on Peachtree.”

Registration is now open for the annual Santa At Rhodes Hall event that invites families and pet owners to sit with jolly Old St. Nick for a photo opportunity that raises funds for the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.

Each weekend from Nov. 20 to Dec. 12, historic Rhodes Hall will be decked in Christmas holiday regalia and winter decorations befitting the festive season.

For a $50 admission, families will receive a 5x7 photo with Santa. Pet Night is $40 per family. And a BYOC (Bring Your Own Camera — or video recorder) option is available for an additional $20, with all proceeds going to the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Georgia Trust will recognize and follow Centers for Control and Prevention recommendations for COVID-19 protocols as necessary at the event's time.

To make reservations with Santa, visit www.GeorgiaTrust.org or call 404-885-7812. Space is limited. Rhodes Hall is located at 1516 Peachtree Street NW, Atlanta.
