ORMOND BEACH, FL (June 25, 2026) – Santa Claus is coming to town for the 9th annual Ormond Beach Main Street “Christmas in July,” a locally powered shopping and dining event. Join us in the Historic Ormond Beach District, along Granada Boulevard from A1A to Orchard St., on Saturday, July 25, 2026 from 10 AM – 5 PM. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be spreading holiday cheer throughout the district, visiting participating businesses from 9 AM to 3 PM.
Over 40 of Ormond’s most popular restaurants and shops will be offering incredible deals on yummy bites, summery sips and one-of-a-kind finds, all day long – several of our stops will even be featuring kids’ activities and crafts. Go on a scavenger hunt for the “Elf on the Shelf” for a chance to win a gift card to one of your favorite small businesses, with multiple winners chosen. Pick up a map at any participating businesses to help plan out your day. There will also be a digital map available at www.ormondbeachmainstreet.com/christmasinjuly, along with Santa’s schedule, kids’ activities, and a complete list of businesses & specials.
New this year, the scavenger hunt is going digital! Simply scan the QR code at each participating location using your phone’s camera, enter your contact information, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a gift card while you explore the scavenger hunt. Prefer a paper version? A printable map will also be available on our website, or you can pick one up at the Ormond Main Street office if you’d rather participate without using the digital option.
Get ready for a festive day full of fun, flavor, and fantastic deals! Bright balloons and cheerful signs will guide you to the retail stores and restaurants offering exclusive holiday specials throughout the Historic Ormond District.
Start your day at The Casements and join the Christmas in July Holiday Hunt from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Guests can take a self-guided tour through the historic home, searching for hidden beach balls tucked throughout the house. Count as many as you can, return your tally sheet to the front desk, and claim a prize. This free activity is available for children ages 16 and under.
