Celebrate a little holiday cheer in the middle of summer at the Christmas in July Craft & Vendor Market! Join us for a festive, family-friendly day of shopping, fun, and community — all while supporting a great cause.

This event is a fundraiser benefiting the Wheaton VFW Post 2164 Auxiliary. The Auxiliary’s mission is to improve the lives of veterans, service members, their families, and communities through service, patriotism, and education—honoring sacrifices, providing vital assistance, fostering camaraderie, and advocating for veterans’ needs.

Shop a thoughtfully selected mix of local makers, artists, and small businesses offering handmade and creative goods, jewelry, candles, bath and body products, home décor, art, gifts, pet products, plants, packaged baked goods, and specialty foods. We’re limiting the number of vendors per category to keep the market varied and enjoyable.

There will be plenty of holiday fun for the whole family, including special visits from the Grinch (keep an eye out 👀), Christmas-themed activities throughout the day, and — just maybe — a surprise appearance from Santa himself (stay tuned!).
