Christmas
Spirit Returns to Union Street with the 3rd Annual
Christmas in July Celebration
Family Friendly Summer Event Set
July 21, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - (Alexandria, VA) – Santa Claus
is coming to town…a bit early! This time, old Saint Nick has hung
up his big red suit and opted for a pair of sunglasses and swim shorts
as he prepares to spread holiday cheer on the streets of Old Town when
the 3rd Annual Christmas in July Celebration returns to Union
Street on Saturday, July 21, 2012.
The event is co-presented by The Christmas Attic and the businesses
of Union Street. Approximately 15 retailers and community organizations
will host a variety of festive activities either inside stores or on
Union Street ranging from pictures with “Summer” Santa &
Mrs. Claus, fashion trunk shows, food and wine tastings, cookie decorating,
story time for tots, paint your own snowman, ornament making, ice cream
social, carnival fun, musical entertainment and much more! The day will
be filled with store activities, raffle drawings, shopping/ dining deals
and holiday delights for all ages. There will be musical entertainment
on Union Street from 12-4PM.
Union Street Gives Back: Each year, the Union Street
businesses pick a charity organization to support during the event weekend.
This year, 100% of all proceeds from Wish Star sales will benefit Make-A-Wish®
Mid-Atlantic which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening
medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength
and joy.
A complete schedule of the
weekend’s events and musical entertainment is listed on www.christmasattic.com
and on the event’s Facebook
page.
