ATLANTA (Oct. 29, 2025) – Atlanta’s skyline is about to get a little brighter as Piedmont Park welcomes its Great Tree, Menorah and Kinara on Tuesday, Nov. 4, setting the stage for the Piedmont Park Conservancy’s inaugural Light Up the Season — the city’s newest holiday tradition celebrating light, unity and generosity.

In a nod to New York’s iconic tree delivery, media are invited to The Meadow at Piedmont Park for a behind-the-scenes look as crews raise the Great Tree, Menorah and Kinara — a trio of lights that will illuminate the park and reflect the shared spirit of warmth, connection and hope that defines the season. The installation marks the beginning of a community celebration that embodies the Conservancy’s mission to bring people together and make the city’s most cherished green space shine even brighter.

Adding to the festive spirit, sponsor Shake Shack will be on-site to debut its 2025 holiday-themed shake of the season, offering media a first taste of the limited-edition treat ahead of its public launch.
