Get ready for a day filled with holiday cheer as downtown Villa Rica transforms into a festive wonderland for Christmas on Main! With activities and events for all ages, it’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season with your family and friends. Here’s the full schedule of festive fun happening throughout the day:
Egg Nog Jog (1-Mile Fun Run) – 12:00 PM
Start the festivities with a burst of energy! The Egg Nog Jog is a fun, family-friendly race to get everyone moving and in the holiday spirit.
Reindeer Run (5K) – 12:30 PM
Keep the momentum going with our festive 5K Reindeer Run! Runners and walkers alike are welcome to join in this holiday-themed race through downtown.
Mistletoe Market – 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Stroll through the Mistletoe Market at The Mill Amphitheater, where you’ll find unique holiday gifts, handmade crafts, and delicious seasonal treats. Support local vendors and check off your holiday shopping list while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Find the Elves – 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Santa has sent some of his Elf Mates into downtown businesses and vendor booths. These little helpers will be hiding from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Find one, take a selfie, and bring it to the Main Street Info Tent at The Mill. When you turn in the elf, you’ll be rewarded with your very own Elf on a Shelf to take home. Please limit to one per family, as there will be five elves hiding. Bring the family and join in the hunt as part of this festive scavenger hunt.
Christmas Parade – 5:00 PM
One of the highlights of the day, the Christmas Parade, will light up the streets with dazzling floats, cars, businesses, and, of course, Santa Claus himself! Be sure to find a great spot to enjoy this magical procession.
Photos with Santa – 6:00 PM
After the parade, meet Santa in person and capture a memorable photo! It’s a perfect opportunity for little ones (and grown-ups, too) to share their Christmas wishes.
Tree Lighting Ceremony – 7:00 PM
End the day with the grand finale: the lighting of the downtown Christmas tree! Gather with the community as we illuminate the night and officially welcome the holiday season.
From the festive runs to the enchanting tree lighting, Christmas on Main is packed with joy and excitement for everyone. Don’t miss this magical day in downtown Villa Rica. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
