Alpine Winter Lights in Helen

Helen, Georgia, also known as Alpine Helen, is a small Bavarian Village nestled in the Northeast Georgia Blue Ridge Mountain range and only 90 minutes north of Atlanta. Alpine Helen has quickly become known as one of the top Christmas towns to visit in the United States and voted one of the most charming towns in the world. During the Christmas holiday season, the town turns its amazing village into a Christmas wonderland. The first event to kick off the holidays is the Annual Lighting of the Village on Nov. 29, from 5-7 p.m. at Riverside Park.
