Christmas in July

  • Christmas in July

The 30th annual Christmas in July Festival is fast approaching! This well-known and celebrated festival began as a way to promote the local Christmas tree industry. Today, Ashe County is considered the largest producer of Christmas trees in the nation!

Starting on Friday, June 30th, the Christmas in July Festival Kickoff Night (6pm-10pm) will take place on the backstreet of West Jefferson to get the festivities started. There will be food vendors, music, and street dancing--fun for the whole family!

On Saturday, July 1st, the Christmas in July Festival will take place from 9am – 6pm. There will be live music on the main stage, food vendors, merchant booths, and various performances such as clogging on the community stage.

The festival is renowned for its Christmas crafts, a tree baling competition and a chance to visit with Santa Claus. You can do a little early Christmas shopping, check out a civil war reenactment, listen to some great local mountain music, eat festival food (including the BEST homemade ice cream!) or grab something fresh from the farmer’s market.  There will be plenty of activities for the kids, including street performers and a giant puppet.

When:
June 30th (Kick off) – 6pm – 10pm
July 1st – 9am – 6pm
Where: West Jefferson Backstreet
West Jefferson
Cost: Entrance is FREE
