19th Annual Lorton Holiday Extravaganza!

One of the largest and most popular holiday events in South Fairfax is back for its 19th year!

The Lorton Holiday Extravaganza is set for Saturday, December 7 from 9a-3p at South County High School. This annual event draws thousands of shoppers from as far as North Carolina, West Virginia and Delaware with a wide variety of vendors from across the mid-Atlantic region. Looking for a great gift for someone hard to buy for? One-of-a-kind pottery made on a wheel, handcrafted, body butter creams, smoked coffee, locally produced honey and lip balm, gourmet chocolates, hot chocolate bombs, holiday breads, cake pops, and pound cakes are also on the menu. You can have your kitchen utensils and other household items sharpened while you shop. Look for the Snippy Bros booth near the main entrance of the show.

Santa's Book Emporium features gently used books in creative gift baskets that will delight the book lover on your list. Kids can enjoy a special kids' shopping experience where they can shop with the help of a high school student. The Jingle Bell Kids' Shoppe Experience is only $8 per item and the child can decorate their own gift bag too.

New this year is a special offer for seniors. Local senior centers and senior living neighborhoods are offered free admission if they arrive as a group. After enjoying some shopping and holiday entertainment, they can enjoy lunch as a group in our Senior Appreciation Lunchroom.
