With whimsical window art storefronts hand-painted by local artists, twinkling lights, and endless festive decor, Hillsborough Street in December is quite the sight to see.

This local thoroughfare is beloved for its seasonal transformations, and this year promises to be the biggest and brightest yet.

Plus, Golden Ticket coffee sleeves at participating shops give visitors the chance to win gift cards and prizes while they stroll, sip, and shop.

Follow along on Instagram for festive updates, event announcements, and prize details.
