This year it will be held from <strong>24-26 July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current event list can be seen on the Hogsback Tourism Office event page, with more program updates to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular program highlights and activities include The Winter Quest: a free, interactive treasure hunt and village map allowing you and yours to explore Hogsback in the best possible way. We also have several live music performances, whiskey, wine and cheese tastings, dinner dances, markets, competitions for kids and adults, workshops, classes and the fan-favorite Chill Dip Competition for the truly brave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is advised to book your accommodation early. Some families book the minute we announce dates, almost a year in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/events\/christmas-in-july\/\">Christmas in July Info<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/hogsbackadventures.co.za\/hto\/\">Events<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/hogsbackmap.co.za\/about\">Winter Quest<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/where-to-stay\/accommodation-request-form\/\">Accommodation Request Form<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas in July returns to Hogsback from 24-26 July, with Winter Quest, live music, tastings, markets, workshops, competitions and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":9077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[757,154,186,852,868,768],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrations-and-festivals","category-events-1","category-information","category-markets","category-music","category-workshops-and-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visithogsback.co.za\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
