CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - This weekend (Dec. 4-7), Old Town Rock Hill transforms into a four-day holiday wonderland for ChristmasVille — an award-winning festival that celebrates the whimsical world of Vernon Grant, the artist behind Kellogg’s Snap!® Crackle!® Pop!® and Rock Hill’s beloved Christmas gnomes.

With more than 70 events tailored for children, families, adults and visitors of all ages, ChristmasVille is a must-visit for anyone looking to make holiday memories.
