Join us on July 25th for our Annual Christmas in July celebration at The Meeting Place on Market!
Christmas in July has become a beloved annual tradition at The Meeting Place on Market. The cafe is transformed into Santa’s Workshop featuring festive drinks and treats like Peppermint Mochas and Candy Cane Hot Cocoas. The gourmet coffee shop will offer holiday-themed desserts and coffees. Numerous community members and businesses collaborate with the coffee shop to create a fun-filled day of activities.
This year’s free activities include:
- Live Christmas music by the talented Veronica Mclaurine from Soldiers of Honor (11am - 1 pm)

This year, we are teaming up with St. Luke’s Church to help fill the need for personal care and food items for the local shelters. We will be offering a free Children’s Cocoa for each donated item (a limit of 2 free Children’s Cocoa per family).
Items needed include:
Men’s and Women’s personal hygiene items, toothbrushes and toothpaste, diapers, boxed mac and cheese, baked beans, canned fruit, soup, canned pasta, bottled water, and bottled sports drinks.
They are also collecting back-to-school supplies: #2 pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, glue sticks, backpacks, and notebooks.
The cafe will feature Christmas coffees and desserts throughout the day, and holiday-themed photo ops will be available.
