Join us for the 31st Annual “Christmas in the Village Craft Festival” in Eldersville, PA on November 2–4, 2018 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Stroll through our quaint town as you visit more than 50 crafters in various locations, and delight in the unique style of each artisan. Our theme this year is Winter Wonderland.

Admission and parking are free.

Parking: Handcrafted Nut Cracker Men will guide your way to parking at the Fire Hall (Fire Rd.) and the Eldersville United Methodist Church (Church Rd.).

Your First Stop: A handcrafted “Welcome House” is centrally located in the Village on Cedar Grove Road where directories will be available providing specific locations for crafters and food. Every location is designated by a number sign and is on the Directory.

Delicious food will be served in three different locations; the Jefferson Township Fire Hall, Eldersville United Methodist Church, and at the village school (provided by Cornerstone Mennonite Church). These locations will also host many crafters.

You can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere of this free holiday event by walking Fire Road, Cedar Grove Road, Eldersville Road and Church Road in the Village.
