WAXHAW, NC – The Town of Waxhaw is preparing for several fun events this holiday season located in downtown Waxhaw.

The Town of Waxhaw will participate in Small Business Saturday on November 26. Locally-owned shops and restaurants all over Waxhaw will be open encouraging you to shop and dine locally. Downtown businesses will have fun “Shop Local” swag for shoppers and an Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt.

On Saturday, December 10, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm, visit downtown Waxhaw for our first Touch-a-Truck with Santa event. Santa will visit the Community Corner under the water tank with his friends from the Fire Department, Police Department and Public Services Department. Families can see several large safety vehicles as well as take photos with Santa. Downtown businesses will have a Candy Cane Scavenger hunt with prizes for the families that visit each business.

The popular Waxhaw Christmas Parade returns on December 11 at 3:00 pm in downtown Waxhaw. This year’s theme is “Merry & Bright” and will feature marching bands and floats by community businesses. Many downtown shops and restaurants will be open, so don’t forget to grab lunch and shop before the festivities begin.

“The Holidays are a special time in downtown Waxhaw. The Christmas lights and special events create such a great small-town feeling, and there are plenty of opportunities to support local businesses this season,” Ashley Nowell, Downtown Director of Waxhaw, said.
