2024 Christmas in Carlinville

For more than thirty years, the first weekend of December in Carlinville has been a destination for holiday shoppers and festival enthusiasts in search of small-town holiday magic. This year, every location throughout the community will be uniting under one common name in the spirit of community unity- “Christmas in Carlinville.”

Christmas in Carlinville will take place December 6th-8th and will cover locations throughout Carlinville to ensure that every corner of the business community is highlighted and promoted. Locations include the historic Downtown Square, Cross Church, the Macoupin County Courthouse, Carlinville Plaza, and the Macoupin County Historical Society.

To ensure festive and timely transportation between the locations, the City of Carlinville Tourism Committee chipped in to cover the cost of a trolley to transport shoppers around the community on Friday and Saturday. Blackburn College is also providing two buses to lower the wait time for visitors.

Visitors can expect everything they’ve grown to love about Christmas in Carlinville weekend over the years: tents with craft vendors downtown around the historic square, an endless lineup of vendors inside at Cross Church, tours of the courthouse decorated for the holidays, merchants at the Macoupin County Historical Society, and a variety of businesses at a rejuvenated Carlinville Plaza.
