German Christmas market decking Harmony’s historic halls over weekend
HARMONY — The borough is again stamping its unique brand of culture and historic pride on the holidays this year.
Harmony’s WeihnachtsMarkt, or Christmas Market, will flood the streets with German food, drink and music; crafts; horse-drawn wagon rides; and other yuletide treats. The festival will last from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and Harmony museum members, and $4 for students. Any child younger than 6 can accompany their family at the event for free.
Tickets provide access throughout the day to Harmony’s National Historic Landmark District, which includes the market, the horse-drawn wagons and all entertainment events. Marked, commercial parking lots offer free parking throughout the borough, and free shuttle buses offer rides from these sites to the WeihnachtsMarkt.
Visitors can find Historic Harmony off Interstate 79 at exits 87 and 88, which lie about 10 miles north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and 30 miles south of Interstate 80. They can park without charge in lots at the Harmony Warehouses on Mercer Street, Sysco Food Services on Route 68 off the I-79 at exit 87, Steamfitters Technology Center in Jackson Township, and Robinson Fans on Robinson Drive in Zelienople.
