Forsyth County’s only city

The County Seat, Lit for the Season

Cumming has been incorporated since 1834 and is the seat of Forsyth County. It is also the only incorporated city in the county, which is why so many people with a Forsyth address use other towns’ names on their mail. Georgia 400 turned it into a commuter town, but it has kept a strong sense of its own calendar.

October belongs to the Cumming Country Fair & Festival at the fairgrounds. The newer Cumming City Center adds pocket parks, walking trails and the Lou Sobh Amphitheater for concerts, farmers markets and seasonal events, which gives the city a proper place to gather through the holidays.

If your goal is a house that looks ready for every one of those occasions without a new set of strings each time, start with Residential Track Lights and the holiday lighting ideas.

Seen From the Road, the Hill and the Water

Cumming is not a flat place. Sawnee Mountain Preserve rises above the city with views from the top, and to the east lies Lake Lanier, the reservoir that filled after Buford Dam began operating in 1956. Mary Alice Park sits right on the shoreline.

On rolling ground, a roofline can be seen from below, from across a cove or from a neighbor’s higher yard. That makes clean spacing and a straight run of track matter more. Gemstone lights are fixed in the track at an even interval, so the outline reads as one tidy line from any angle rather than a sag of clips and cable.

  • Evenly spaced lights in a straight, color-matched track
  • IP67 waterproof and UV-rated for lakeside sun and rain

Your first season

A December in Cumming, Planned in Advance

With the lights already on the house, the holiday season becomes a few decisions in the app instead of a weekend of ladders and extension cords.

  1. Step 1: Early November

    Choose your Christmas look in the app while it is still mild outside. Warm white, red and white, or a slow multicolor twinkle are all a few taps away.

  2. Step 2: Thanksgiving weekend

    Set a dusk-to-dawn schedule from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day so the lights come on at sunset and go off at a time you pick, every night of the season.

  3. Step 3: Christmas week

    Switch to a livelier animation for visiting family or a drive-by from friends, then put the everyday look back with one tap.

  4. Step 4: New Year’s Eve

    Count down with gold and silver sparkle, then let the system fall back to warm white. More ideas live on the New Year’s lighting page.
