A Williamson County Christmas
A home-away-from-home for the holidays!
Every holiday season our communities come together to enjoy a month full of merry celebrations. Find everything from downtown decorations and Holiday shows, to festivals and local holiday markets. Ditch the city plans this season and enjoy some small-town tradition!
There are opportunities all month for pictures with Santa and even an elf on the shelf photo op at Marion’s local toy store, Jack and Josie’s! You can enjoy a few lovely brunch opportunities that feature Santa Claus as a special guest. But that’s not all, our website calendar is full of other holiday dining experiences! Marion Carnegie Library will be hosting a Sensory Santa opportunity to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be involved! Create memories that the whole family will cherish for years to come!
Hometown Christmas
is a family fun opportunity in Johnston City that kicks off Williamson County’s celebration schedule! Featuring pictures with Santa, vendors, interactive activities with Christmas character favorites, as well as carols! Holiday markets, sales, and popup shops can also be found all over the area this month! Help us to support our local shops and vendors by getting specialty gifts for your loved ones! Check our calendar for holiday open houses at local boutiques and specialty retailers!
Christmas in Carterville and Downtown Christmas

Marion’s Downtown Christmas will be hosting ice skating, Christmas music, food vendors, and more! Be a part of our community and celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with all of these family-fun activities!
Live Christmas entertainment at the area’s leading venues, Christmas parties at the local’s favorite pubs, and SO many other events are being added to our calendar daily! Don’t let the stress of the season get the best of you, get out and soak up the holiday cheer!
