As a first-time visitor to Peachtree City, you may feel like you’re carting around a big state park. You will feel awe among so many beautiful trees, and you’ll be among other pedestrians, cyclists and cart riders who enjoy the 100-mile network of multi-use paths winding throughout the city at a comfortable, safe 15-mph speed limit.

This holiday season, things are lighting up in our park-like city with a Christmas Lights Trail competition among neighborhoods, selfies with elfies, a tree lighting and hometown holiday festival, festive music, and even a holiday decoration swap. And … Santa too!
