Georgia Festival of Trees “When we started Georgia Festival of Trees four years ago, we weren’t sure how it would be received and it’s remarkable to see how it’s grown and evolved into a special holiday tradition for families,” said Angie Ulibarri, Georgia Festival of Trees executive director. “Through this growth, our team continues to closely listen to feedback from our guests, which is why we’re thrilled to share exciting new updates for this year including a new location, the After Dark Comedy Showcase presented by The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett and our very own Pink Pig, Penny. Even with all the new additions, the heartbeat of the festival remains the same – holiday magic with a heart to end human trafficking.” (Nelson Hicks)

Georgia Festival of Trees Georgia Festival of Trees debuts Penny the Pink Pig, a new pig-themed train for children and adults, inspired by the beloved Atlanta tradition originally created in 1953 by Rich’s. This new version will transport guests on a magical ride through the Georgia Festival of Trees and will be open each day from Nov. 23 to Dec. 1, except Nov. 27-28 when the festival will be closed for Thanksgiving. Rides on the Pink Pig cost $5 per person. (Nelson Hicks)

Georgia Festival of Trees “We’re thrilled to be a beneficiary of the Georgia Festival of Trees for the second consecutive year, especially in the year they debut the new Pink Pig!” said Jessica Lamb, founder of Atlanta Redemption Ink. “While activities, like the Pink Pig, are fun, Georgia Festival of Trees has a deeper meaning behind each of these – to support the fight against human trafficking. Our organization aims to bring hope and joy to survivors, and it’s an honor to share this heartbeat with the Georgia Festival of Trees.” (Nelson Hicks)
