ChristmasVille in Historic Old Town Rock Hill

About this adventure

ChristmasVille is an award-winning four-day storybook holiday festival in Old Town Rock Hill, SC, inspired by the whimsical illustrations of Rock Hill's own Vernon Grant (the famed illustrator who created Kellogg's Snap, Crackle and Pop and beloved vintage Santa imagery). The festival features more than 70 family-centered events across a pedestrianized downtown corridor: horse-drawn carriage rides, an open-air ice skating rink on Caldwell Street, Grant's whimsical gingerbread village contest, strolling Victorian carolers, puppet shows, a Santa's workshop with hands-on kids' crafts, and an illuminated Jingle Bell Parade. Old Town Rock Hill's wide brick sidewalks and pedestrian plazas are completely stroller-friendly. Free parking is available in multi-level city parking decks on Black Street and Elizabeth Lane. The festival provides a designated Family Hospitality & Comfort Station at the Center for the Arts featuring private nursing areas, diaper changing stations, and a quiet sensory retreat.
