Annual Events
We have a number of annual event traditions in South Cornelia. Explore them all here and discover what your next annual tradition might be. 🙂
January/February: Skating and Sledding Party
Break out the ice skates, get your favorite sled, or just come hang out with folks from around the neighborhood. We normally have a warm beverage and maybe a few snacks (while supplies last) waiting for you inside the Cornelia Warming House.
For centuries, Iranians have jumped over bonfires to celebrate the Iranian New Year, Chaharshanbeh Soori, which co-incides with the Spring equinox. Let’s share food brought from Iranian friends across the area, jumping over the fire to ritually cleanse ourselves, and get to know some of the local Iranian community.
April: Easter Egg Hunt
This is always the Saturday before Easter and has up to 150 kids participating. Whether you’re a candy-craving child, picture-taking parent, or just enjoy kids romping around the park, we’ve got something for everyone.
Late Sept. / Early Oct.: Annual Dinner and Meeting
The 2025 BBQ dinner and annual meeting was held on Friday, October 3rd at the Cornelia Warming House, thanks to everyone that attended. The 2026 annual meeting will be held in late September/early October 2026.
Early Oct.: Backyard Movie Night
The backyard movie night was a huge success and planning for 2026 is already underway!Â
Late October: Halloween Before Dark
The 2025 event is happening from 3:00 – 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 26. Maybe you want trick-or-treating, dazzling house and yard decorations, and to see some nifty carved pumpkins?
Late Oct. / Early Nov.: Diwali
Come celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, a beloved tradition of the Indian culture in our community on Saturday, October 11th from 5:00 – 7:00PM at Arenson Acres. We’ll have music, food, and lights … but most importantly, come to be among friends and neighbors!
