A live story you can walk through

The spirit of the season
A pan-holiday celebration
JOIE is designed as a pan-holiday celebration centered on the shared joy of the winter season. The experience is intended for families, couples, arts patrons and holiday enthusiasts seeking a more immersive alternative to traditional seasonal attractions.
Guests are encouraged to dress in costume and become part of the story. The Mainstage Show sets the tone for the evening: spectacle, humor, music, movement and surprise in one of Atlanta’s most beautiful historic properties.
