The City of Milton officially incorporated on December 1, 2006; it’s hard to believe we’re celebrating a decade. They say, “time flies when you’re having fun,” and it’s certainly been an incredible ten years! We have so much to be proud of; yet, there’s so much more we can accomplish by working together.
Celebrating our residents and our accomplishments will be a key focus this month and during the new year. Milton is rich in its heritage and tradition, so it’s no surprise that we’ll celebrate our anniversary with several cherished annual events and a few unique celebrations.
We recently held the annual tree lighting on the corner of Webb Road. We look forward to 2017 when Milton’s annual tree lighting officially moves to its new home at Broadwell Pavilion. Stay tuned for updates as staff works to secure a new tree with support from community volunteers. Until then, we hope you will join us for the following December events:• December 1 & 10 — Anniversary Celebration at Broadwell Pavilion – The public is invited to join state and local officials, along with City staff, as we celebrate our accomplishments and our renewed sense of excitement at what we can accomplish during Milton’s second decade. We will also celebrate those committed officials and citizens who played such an integral part in forming our great city because this historic moment wouldn’t be possible without them.• December 3 — Christmas in Crabapple – This annual holiday tradition, hosted in partnership with the Crabapple Community Association, is always filled with loads of family fun and serves as a shining example of what’s possible when a community works together. It’s just one of several Milton events showcasing an area that has become a community gathering spot and a thriving downtown.• December 10 — Milton Fire Department’s Pancake Breakfast with Santa is another cherished annual event; the breakfast is free to the public and features great food, fire trucks and Santa. It also provides a way for the community to come together and help those less fortunate by contributing to the North Fulton Community Charities’ Santa Toy Drive.

As 2016 comes to an end, we reflect on the last ten years and look ahead to the new year when we will officially open Milton’s new City Hall in March 2017. Residents are invited to join us on April 29, 2017 for a gala celebration to honor a decade of City accomplishments including the opening of a premier City facility in the heart of downtown Crabapple. More details regarding the City Hall move and additional ten-year festivities will be provided on the Milton website, its social media accounts and via Milton’s e-newsletter as the information becomes available.
