Ormond Beach MainStreet's Christmas in July Small Business Shopping Event is returning on Saturday, July 27.
Over 40 small businesses along Granada Boulevard, between A1A and Orchard Street, will offer promotions and discounts during the all-day event. There will also be pop-up markets at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and the Anderson-Price Memorial Building, according to a press release. Pink flamingos and pinwheels will mark participating stores and restaurants.
"We are excited to bring the community together for this special event," said Rebecca Parker, executive director of Ormond Beach MainStreet. "Christmas in July is a great way to support our local businesses while enjoying a day of family-friendly fun. We look forward to seeing everyone come out and celebrate with us."
Santa and Mrs. Claus will make special appearances during the event — between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. — allowing participants a chance to capture a summer photo with them.
The Elf on a Shelf Scavenger Hunt is also starting a week ahead of the event on Saturday, July 20. Participants are invited to pick up a scavenger hunt map at any participating business along Granada Boulevard. The map lists all the businesses involved and their promotions.
Spot the hidden elf at each location, collect stamps, and submit your completed map to enter a drawing for a grand prize. Participants who collect stamps from at least 10 businesses will qualify to win gift cards and other prizes from local shops.
