About the event

Jingle Fest will return to Forsyth, Georgia in 2019. The festival will kick off on Shop Small Saturday with Secret Santa's Workshop. Santa's busy elves will stock his magical workshop with holiday décor, unique finds for the kids, and beautifully crafted gifts from artists and local businesses. Be sure to stay on the nice list, because you may just get a glimpse of Jolly Ol' St. Nick. You can also snap a selfie or take a cute picture of your kids in Santa's Corner! Jingle Fest 2019 will conclude Thursday, December 5th with the annual Hometown Holidays Parade. First introduced in 1990, the lighted parade winds through Downtown Forsyth, spreading holiday cheer to children and adults of all ages. This year’s parade has once again been named a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event for December. The theme will celebrate the parade's 30th anniversary, "30 Years of Christmas Magic." You don’t want to miss it! We'd like to thank Momentum Christian Church for sponsoring Jingle Fest again this year!
