Ebensburg transforms into Victorian England where vendors, entertainers and other participants, are clad in period costumes. Let us be your host on this journey back in time to experience an old-fashioned Christmas. Come enjoy sleigh and carriage rides, Victorian teas, home and church tours, two craft shows, and wassailing in quaint neighborhoods! There will also be dancing, roving entertainers and carolers, great holiday food and drink, ice sculptures, a model train show, and so much more! This is truly a joyous way to bring in the holiday season, of which Mr. Dickens would surely approve! | |
