Simpsonville City park to transform into winter wonderland for inaugural holiday stroll

Downtown Simpsonville is gearing up to bring extra holiday magic to the Upstate this December with the debut of the Simpsonville Holiday Stroll at Simpsonville City Park.

Spanning two festive weekends—December 3–5 and December 10–12, 2026—the park will open its gates each evening from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., inviting families and visitors to wander through a series of interactive, themed attractions, light displays, and photo-ready holiday installations.

Located at 100 Park Drive, the city centerpiece will feature four distinct holiday zones designed for all ages:

• Christmas Fountain: Guests entering the park will be greeted by an illuminated winter landscape highlighted by warm lighting, glowing snowflakes, Christmas trees, deer sculptures, and festive holiday characters.

• Santa’s Workshop & Christmas Stage: A central hub for community gatherings, featuring visits with Santa and his friends, live seasonal performances, holiday decor, and complimentary warm cocoa and fresh-baked cookies.

• Christmas Candy Land: Taking over the park’s newly renovated playground area, this whimsical zone includes oversized candy-themed displays, an eye-catching 10-foot polar bear sculpture, a vibrant gumdrop field, and themed selfie stations.

• Holiday Market: On Saturday evenings during the event run, attendees can shop local makers and seasonal vendors to check items off their holiday gift lists while supporting Upstate small businesses.

Presented in partnership with the Simpsonville ARTS Foundation, the Simpsonville Area Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Simpsonville, the event aims to create a new signature holiday tradition right in the heart of town.
