The Hall County Historical Society, Inc. presents Christmas on Green Street each year on the first Sunday in December. This year, 2011, the event will be on Sunday, December 4th from 5:00 - 7:30pm and will begin with an antique car procession. Green Street will be closed from 4:00 - 8:30pm. We offer for the community, especially families and children, a first-rate attraction that kicks off the Christmas season and affords a very inexpensive evening out.
The houses on Green Street decorate their houses and some open their doors to visitors. The Beta Club at North Hall Middle School and a Boy Scout Troop line the street with luminaries. The Gainesville Newcomers Club don period Victorian costumes and relate histories of the homes. The Quinlan Art Center hosts a children's party where they make a decoration to take home. This year we have 19 different musical groups performing from porches. An art show by the Blue Angel Artists will be at 393 Green Street.
Houses open this year include: 393 Full Media, 427 Phaedra & Arturo Corso Law Offices, 439 Sawyer Innovations, 635 The Healing Arts Spa, 746 Winner Wellness Center, 624 Seasons Transport, 616 Joe & Blair Diaz, Attorney & CPA, 514 Quinlan Visual Arts Center, and 434 The Norton Agency.
Look for the strolling magician, face painter, balloon artist, story teller, Santa Claus and miniature train ride for free fun & entertainment. There is also a carriage ride for $2/person; limit $10/family. The Gainesville Rotary Club will have its annual Christmas Tree Lighting also.
