Community Coordinated Activity

Airing of the Quilts originated years ago and was an annual tradition in the late spring or fall. The women would bring out all the quilts and hang them on the clotheslines, drape on the porch or any place that they could be aired out and prepped for the cold winter months ahead. That old tradition as turned into many forms of the same concept but more for show and inspiration vs the utility of winter prep. Draping the pews of a church with quilts has been a new tradition in it's own right - whether for inspiration or memorial it is always a warm hearted feel to see all the quilts that have been pieced with love displayed in such a lovely backdrop as a church. SewEndipitous is lucky to partner with The Episcopal Church of Our Savior on Caldwell Street.

Mr Snowman Cookie Decorating Contest - Beginner Level  

The tradition of lighting the tree has looked different over the years as the tradition has grown and evolved with the times. Originally, a decorated Christmas tree in Main Building (now Tillman Hall) was lit to usher in the Christmas season. In 1935, the Christmas tree lighting was moved to the Southern magnolia tree on front campus, which was selected as the 2010 Heritage Tree by Trees SC for the great community spirit the tree evokes. In 1969 the annual tree lighting became an official event, and it continues as part of the City of Rock Hill’s ChristmasVille. Today, the flagpole at the fountain is now lit to celebrate the season to ensure the health and sustainability of the Southern Magnolia. This festive tradition will be held on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024 at 6 p.m. on the Tillman Hall Front Lawn.

The City of Rock Hill Christmas parade is one of the few lighted nighttime parades within the state. The parade will once again feature both homemade and commercial floats, local high school bands mascots, walking units and of course Santa Claus, passing through the streets of Old Town during the ChristmasVille Festival. While the ChristmasVille Festival is excited to celebrate the Rock Hill Christmas Parade with our community, this event is not hosted by ChristmasVille. For details and updates about the parade, please visit the City of Rock Hill’s website or contact the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department.
