    Vernon Grant 3D Santa Windows

    Main Street Main Street, Rock Hill, SC, United States

    By now, you’ve likely seen multiple illustrations of distinctly styled Santas and various gnomes throughout ChristmasVille’s website, as well as throughout Old Town if you’ve already begun exploring. These whimsical creations are the work of Rock Hill’s adopted son and famed illustrator, Vernon Grant, most widely known for his three fun-loving gnomes used to market Kellogg’s Rice Krispies®. Vernon’s work encompasses much more than Snap ®, Crackle ®, and Pop® through his abundant illustrations for nationally known magazines and advertising campaigns. Vernon Grant’s artwork can be seen displayed on street poles and in art galleries within Old Town during the entire month of December. There’s even a larger-than-life mural inspired by his iconic images, as well as multiple 3D museum-quality models in storefront windows along Main Street! In 2016, ChristmasVille organizers established a tradition of re-imagining Vernon Grant People’s Choice Santa images by commissioning life-size 3D creations. This year, the 8th model will be added to the collection, and we encourage you to take a stroll along Main Street to spot these handmade treasures. You can even turn it into a fun scavenger hunt! A special thanks is extended to Showtime Theatre Company for installing these works. Grant the Gnome's […]

    Santa’s Library & Photo Experience

    Friends Books on Main 206 East Main Street, Rock Hill, SC

    Ever wonder about Santa’s process when he’s making his list and checking it twice? At Friends Books on Main, you can get a glimpse into where he does some of his best work…in Santa’s Library! While Santa is out and about in Old Town, check out what he’s been up to, and make sure your name is on the “Nice List”. Santa’s Library is also a great spot for a photo opportunity, so be sure to snap a shot! Grant the Gnome’s Pro Tip: You’ll be surrounded by thousands of donated books, DVDs, audiobooks, and CDs at great prices, where all the proceeds benefit York County Libraries, so look around for a bit, and don’t leave without checking out the trees constructed from books!

    Trolley Transportation: Across the Merry Mile

    Old Town expands over what we like to call the “Merry Mile”. To help in your exploration of all the festivities happening throughout Old Town during ChristmasVille, jump on and off the trolleys making stops at 4 key locations along the Merry Mile, so you don’t miss a thing! Start where you like...there is a stop on Black Street behind the Fountain Park Stage by the ice rink, another in the parking lot near Dave Lyle Blvd. and White Street by the carousel. Across the tracks along White Street you’ll find two additional stops, with one being by Knowledge Perk so you can shop at the Vendor Market, and the final location being within University Center by the parking decks. Just look for the Rock Hill Ford vehicles and signage designating each trolley stop. We thank them for their sponsorship of these trolleys! Grant the Gnome’s Pro Tip: While the trolleys are a fun way to get around ChristmasVille, remember it’s only a mile from end-to-end, so it’s an easy walk too!
