It all starts here. ChristmasVille 2026 is officially kicking off at Fountain Park Stage and you do not want to miss the moment the weekend comes to life. Santa Claus is making his grand entrance into Old Town Rock Hill, and he is bringing the holiday spirit with him. The Rock Hill Rockhettes and Showtime Theatre bring the energy with high powered holiday performances that will get your toes tapping and set the tone for an incredible weekend ahead. We will also give you a glimpse of all the fun that is in store and celebrate the incredible sponsors who help make ChristmasVille possible. Come early, grab a coffee from the Knowledge Perk bus at Fountain Park, find your spot, and get ready for a weekend full of joy, community, and memories in the making.

Once the ceremony wraps up, head straight to Cookies and Cocoa with Santa and keep the magic going!
