303 – Holiday HQ Preview and Dunwoody’s Busiest Day of the Year – Mark Galvin

Podcast 303 – Holiday HQ Preview and Dunwoody’s Busiest Day of the Year – Mark Galvin   Dunwoody is officially “Holiday HQ,” and Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody is back with a full rundown of why the season hits different here. Black Friday draws massive crowds to Perimeter Mall, one of the largest malls in the Southeast, and kicks off a packed calendar of events, light tours, and festive markets.   Over at Campus 244 and Le Méridien Hotel, live music is turning casual nights into local hangouts. Meanwhile, High Street, Ashford Lane, and Park Place are going big with private-sector concerts, pop-ups, and family-friendly celebrations. The best part is none of it is paid for with city funds.   Looking ahead, soccer fans have a reason to get excited. With Atlanta hosting the 2026 World Cup, Dunwoody is already planning soccer-themed pop-ups and watch parties for next summer. International teams may even train nearby, and the city's global flavor is getting stronger with every new event.   Holiday events: whatsupdunwoody.com/holidayhq Local calendar: whatsupdunwoody.com/events   Website: https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-303-holiday-hq-preview-and-dunwoodys-busiest-day-of-the-year-mark-galvin/   What’s Up Dunwoody Links:   🎧 All the podcast episodes. whatsupdunwoody.com/podcasts   🔥 Local events around the city. whatsupdunwoody.com/events   🍔 Dunwoody restaurant guide. whatsupdunwoody.com/food   🏠 Homes for sale. whatsupdunwoody.com/homes   🦷 Best orthodontist in town. whatsupdunwoody.com/village   🏈 DHS Wildcat football. whatsupdunwoody.com/football   🎅🏼 Your holiday headquarters. whatsupdunwoody.com/holidays   🚎 Dunwoody trolley tour. whatsupdunwoody.com/tour   📍 Find local businesses. whatsupdunwoody.com/local   🛎️ Book a hotel staycation. whatsupdunwoody.com/hotels   📫 Join our email list. whatsupdunwoody.com/email   ⚽️ Get to know Matt. whatsupdunwoody.com/matt   🦸🏻‍♂️ Origin story of the podcast. whatsupdunwoody.com/origins   👕 What’s Up Dunwoody merch. whatsupdunwoody.com/merch
