Fort Mill is turning up the holiday spirit—summer style. On Saturday, July 26, the town will host a festive “Christmas in July” Evening Market at Veterans Park from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., transforming the Fort Mill Farmers & Artisans Market into a holiday wonderland with more than 40 vendors, family-friendly activities, and special seasonal fun.
The market will feature visits and photo opportunities with Santa Claus, Rudy the Reindeer, the Gingerbread Man, and Toy Soldier stilt walkers. Live music and bubble fun from Stateline Productions will fill the park with holiday vibes, while the Town Tent offers giveaways and themed activities. Kids can make their own sugar scrub with SOAK Bath & Body, enjoy crafts and cookie decorating in Santa’s Workshop, and jump into a frothy foam party courtesy of the Fantastic Firetruck.
Vendors will offer a wide variety of goods including fresh produce, eggs, meats, baked goods, breads, elderberry syrup, handmade crafts, and more. Shoppers can also grab dinner and treats from a lineup of local food trucks including Palmetto Pony, Say Cheese 518, Anchors Aweigh Lemonade, and King of Fire.
To make room for this special event, the regular morning market will not take place. Residents are encouraged to do their weekly market shopping during the evening hours instead.
“Christmas in July” promises festive décor, unique gift finds, and all the joy of the holidays—no snow required.
