Adding to the festive atmosphere, Santa will be making a special summer appearance for visits and photos with guests of all ages. Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to tag their Christmas tree early, reserving the perfect tree way ahead of the busy holiday season. There also will be several fun photo opportunities and fun immersive experiences across the farm.

Live music will be a highlight of the afternoon, with the popular band Dave & Rae performing an energetic mix of folk, funk, and crowd favorites.

“This festival has been a dream of ours for a long time,” said Piney Acres Farm owner Rex Zenor. “We love the joy that the holiday season brings, and we wanted to create a way to share that feeling with the community in the middle of summer. Jingle in July is all about bringing people together, supporting local artisans, having a blast, and creating memories families will carry with them all year long. Celebrating America’s 250th birthday makes it even more special, and we are excited to collaborate with The Pond to bring this to life.”

The Jingle in July Festival promises something for everyone, blending the charm of Christmas with the warmth of summer, and the spirit of a historic national milestone. Piney Acres and The Pond look forward to welcoming guests of all ages for a festive and unforgettable experience.
