Christmas Cheer Kicks Off in Florence with Jingle Bell Market

Florence, S.C. – The holiday season is officially underway in Florence as the much-anticipated Jingle Bell Market opened its doors at the Florence Center this past Thursday night. Sponsored by Food Lion, this annual event has become a local favorite, and it’s easy to see why!
