Have you enjoyed Christmasville in the past in Rock Hill?  Whether you've attended some of the events or not, you'll want to make sure to do so this upcoming weekend! From Thursday, Dec. 2nd through Sunday, Dec. 5th, you'll find everything you can imagine, from the Rock Hill Christmas Parade on Friday night to the Holiday Marketplace for shopping on Saturday, to the Snow Village, with real snow brought in for the kids to play, on Sunday.  If you don't have the Christmas spirit yet, this weekend will help you get there. 

Don't forget to go to St. John's Methodist Church this weekend as well, on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night, to walk through a living interactive drama of the Christmas story.  It's an event that happens annually, and you won't want to miss it.
