Holiday Bites & Sights ✨ Southern Christmas Show
Kicking off my Charlotte Holiday Bites & Sights series with the Southern Christmas Show! 🎄✨
This holiday show is MASSIVE (the largest in North America!) with 400+ vendors and a footprint the size of 11 football fields.
It’s definitely shopping focused, but there are so many extras: selfie spots, Santa photos, decor competitions, live entertainment, tons of snacks, and even a wine pavilion so you can sip & shop.
I tried an authentic holiday cherry strudel (so good!) and may or may not have grabbed some fudge too (video coming soon!)
It was my first time attending and it was a liiiittle chaotic. I recommend going on a weekday if you can!
✨ Discounted tickets at Harris Teeter
✨ $10 parking, so plan ahead!
