Priscilla the Pink Pig at Macy’s

Tuesday, November 26, 2013

As Christmas gets closer, Macy’s at Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead gears up, not only for a rush of shoppers, but also for the return of Priscilla. The moniker has a long standing tradition as it has been operating for over 50 years. Who is Priscilla you may ask? She may be better known as The Pink Pig, a holiday storybook train ride that at one time rounded the Christmas tree on top of the Macy’s building and now resides in a 1950’s style circus tent on the top level of the parking garage attached to the department store. Each year tens of thousands of people take the short train ride through time chronicling the adventures of Priscilla.
