What a great family-friendly event to join. This event shares the traditions of Bellschnickle, a German Tradition. There's something for everyone, educational, fun, and free to attend.
🎄✨ Traditional Village Christmas ✨🎄

Traditional Village Christmas is a European-style holiday market set in the historic village of Catoctin Furnace.
As part of the event, guests can decorate a fresh wreath on-site using bows, bells, balls, pinecones, holly, icicles, and ornaments or let our friendly volunteers create one for you! Wreaths can also be purchased & pre-ordered through our online shop: https://catoctinfhs.square.site/product/tvc-fraser-fir-wreaths-white-pine-roping-read-full-product-description-prior-to-purchase-/21?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=RLETXDW4G5J7OT5JK5OTTRR2
Explore the F.W. Fraley Store for unique, handmade holiday gifts perfect for the season. See a tatting "lace making demonstration" and stop by the blacksmith shop to watch a skilled blacksmith at work. Enjoy the festivities with plenty of kids activities and caroling.
