The Bogart Library's Saturday movie afternoon screens the story of Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, who stumbles on Christmas Town and causes confusion when he tries to bring Christmas back home. It is a spooky lead-in to the holiday season, held in person at the library.
The screening is on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at the Bogart Library. The listing marks it for all ages, from children to adults, and tags it as family-friendly. No registration or cost is mentioned on the page.
Parent tip: The title promises a fright and the story starts in Halloween Town, so think about whether your youngest is comfortable with spooky characters before settling in. The slot is two hours, so plan snacks and a restroom stop around a 3:00 PM start.

The City of Bogart lights its Christmas tree on Main Street with an evening of hot dogs, cocoa, s'mores and live music. The city also teases a visit from a guest it will only call "You Know Who."
The lighting is on Monday, November 23, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on Main Street. The city's page does not list a cost or mention registration, and it does not say at what point in the evening the tree is lit.
Parent tip: This is an outdoor evening on Main Street in late November, so bring jackets and aim to arrive at 6:00 PM, since the page does not say when the lights come on. With hot dogs, cocoa and s'mores on offer, you can let the event stand in for dinner.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Bogart
Bogart was first called Osceola, then took a new name in 1892 from a locally respected railroad agent after residents learned another Georgia community was already using the old one. The season here opens early, with a holiday movie at the Bogart Library in mid-November and the city's annual Christmas tree lighting on Main Street.
How Bogart celebrates
The City of Bogart runs the town's main seasonal gathering, which its events page titles Bogart's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. On Monday, November 23, 2026, neighbors meet on Main Street from 6:00 to 8:00 PM for hot dogs, cocoa, s'mores, live music and a visit from a guest the city calls "You Know Who." The Bogart Library, a branch of the Athens Regional Library System, starts things even earlier with a Saturday Cinema screening on November 14 that follows Jack Skellington from Halloween Town to Christmas Town. Both fit a small city that flourished once the railroad came through in the 1890s.
Fun facts about Christmas in Bogart
The town was originally named for the Creek-Seminole leader Osceola and was renamed in 1892 for a railroad agent, since Terrell County already had an Osceola. Life in Bogart flourished when the train from Athens to Atlanta was built in the 1890s, and the city was incorporated in 1905. It lies mostly in Oconee County with a small part in Clarke County, and the 2020 census counted 1,326 residents.

Bogart Christmas events for kids: questions parents ask

Two are listed. The Bogart Library screens Saturday Cinema: A Fright Before the Holidays on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. The City of Bogart holds its Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on Main Street on Monday, November 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
When is the Bogart Christmas tree lighting?
Bogart's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting is on Monday, November 23, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on Main Street. The city's page promises hot dogs, cocoa, s'mores and live music. It does not give the exact minute the tree is lit, so arriving at the start is the safest plan.
Where can kids meet Santa in Bogart?
The city's page for the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on November 23, 2026, promises a visit from "You Know Who" without naming the guest. Neither listed event advertises Santa photos by name, so treat the tree lighting on Main Street as the most likely place for a holiday visitor.
Do Bogart's Christmas events need tickets or registration?
Neither page mentions tickets or sign-up. The library's movie afternoon on November 14, 2026, and the city's tree lighting on November 23 both read as walk-up events. Neither page states a price either, so contact the Bogart Library or the City of Bogart if you want to confirm.
Is the Bogart Library holiday movie right for young children?
The library lists Saturday Cinema: A Fright Before the Holidays for all ages and tags it family-friendly. The story follows Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, as he discovers Christmas Town, so it mixes spooky characters with Christmas. The screening slot on November 14, 2026, runs two hours.
Is there food at the Bogart tree lighting?
Yes. The City of Bogart lists hot dogs, cocoa and s'mores for its Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on Main Street on November 23, 2026, along with live music. The page does not say whether the food is free, so bring a little cash in case.
