Bring the grandparents, the little ones, and everyone in between! Strollers and furry friends on leashes are welcome to join the fun. Create precious holiday memories as three generations move together in celebration.

🤝 Supporting The Community

A portion of all registration fees supports Bounty & Soul, a vital organization addressing food insecurity and promoting wellness throughout Black Mountain and Swannanoa. Working at the intersection of food, farms, and health.
