Get ready for a jolly good time on Saturday July, 26th, as the Town of Fort Mill brings the magic of the holidays to the heat of July! In place of that day’s Fort Mill Farmers & Artisans Market, the Town is planning a festive Christmas in July Evening Market from 5-8PM, filled with festive cheer, local vendors, and holiday activities.
Meet with Santa himself for photos and to share your wishlist, along with Rudy the Reindeer and the Gingerbread Man. Toy Soldier Stilt Walkers will be making their way through the crowd, while the sounds of festive holiday tunes and bubbles fill the air courtesy of Stateline Productions.

Activities include:
- Sugar Scrub Station – Treat yourself to a DIY winter-scented “Sugar Scrub” made by SOAK Bath & Body. It’s self-care with a holiday twist!
- Santa’s Workshop – Enjoy crafts and cookie decorating fun in Santa’s Workshop.
- FOAM PARTY – Let the kids (and adults!) splash around at the foam party hosted by the Fantastic Firetruck.
- Christmas in July Giveaways – Don’t miss out on fun holiday giveaways and activities at the Town Tent!
Over 40 vendors will be onsite offering everything from fresh produce and baked goods to handmade items and unique gifts. While you shop you can also indulge food and drinks from Palmetto Pony, Say Cheese 518, Anchors Aweigh Lemonade, and King of Fire.
NOTE: There will be no regular morning market on this day, so make sure to come out for this one-of-a-kind evening celebration!
Whether you’re shopping for Christmas gifts, indulging in festive treats, or just soaking in the festive atmosphere, there’s no better way to spend your Saturday evening!
