A little holiday magic, right in the middle of summer

A festive artisan fair celebrating creativity, community, and early holiday cheer

Christmas in July is one of Bolton Spring Farm’s most joyful summer traditions. Set among the orchards, this beloved artisan fair brings together local artists, makers, farms, and food vendors for a day filled with creativity, festive spirit, and community connection.

Stroll the orchard paths as you shop beautifully handcrafted goods, sip local wine or refreshing wine slushies, enjoy farm-fresh food, and soak in the unexpected delight of holiday cheer, months before the season officially begins. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly celebration that blends the warmth of summer with the magic of the holidays.
