(ATLANTA - November 22, 2004) Where in Atlanta can you enjoy spectacular holiday lights, decorations, outdoor ice skating and holiday concerts? Centennial Olympic Park, in the heart of downtown Atlanta, of course.

The Park's annual “Holiday in Lights” provides fabulous holiday family fun from now through Jan. 2. Highlights include an outdoor ice rink, incredible lighting displays throughout the Park and the annual Carols in the Park singing celebration - slated for Dec. 11.

The “Holiday in Lights” will also be expanded and feature more lights than ever before. The spirit of the “Holiday In Lights” will be carried through the campus of the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome as well as Centennial Olympic Park

The popular ice skating rink features a three-inch thick sheet of real ice, covered observation seating, theatrical lighting on the ice and decorative lighting in the trees surrounding the rink. It's a popular attraction for downtown shoppers and visitors during the holiday season.

New this year ... the ice rink will be larger by 400 sq. ft. allowing more people the opportunity to skate at peak times. It will also be moved to the north end of the Park. Also, this year, companies can host food and beverage functions at the rink for their holiday parties. MGR Food Services will have special menus available. Arrangements can be made for hosted events by calling Tom Sullivan at 404-223-4500. Discounts for skating will also be available for groups of 20 or more.
