MARK YOUR CALENDARS. Join us on July 4 and 5 for the 35th annual Christmas in July Festival in West Jefferson, NC. A celebration of local mountain heritage with fun-filled days of delicious food vendors, including crafts, a wonderful Farmer’s Market, and foot-stomping music. All surrounded by the quaint natural beauty of West Jefferson, it is fun for families and anyone who wants to have a great time. Ash Parks and Recreation will have a fireworks show on the fourth. There is also a rumor that Santa will take a break from the North Pole and stop by in West Jefferson. Shop the beautiful stores of West Jefferson and stop by for a Christmas-themed dessert or drink at many local restaurants. All information is available on Facebook, ChristmasinJuly.com, and follow on social media, Facebook and Instagram, ChristmasinJulyFestival.
