Christmas will come to Elizabethtown on Tuesday, Nov. 29. The festivities will run from 3 to 8 p.m. and will feature something for everyone.

Beginning at 3 p.m., LIV-ETown, in cooperation with the Elizabethtown Area Chamber of Commerce, will host Windows on Market. The event will highlight Elizabethtown businesses with festive window reveals, music, snacks and holiday decorations. LIV-ETown will also offer free gift wrapping at downtown stores during the event.

From 5 to 8 p.m., Santa will greet visitors from his cottage on the square. "Businesses will be open for shopping, which is really cool because many businesses in Elizabethtown are normally closed on Tuesdays," said Carissa Ressler, chair of the Elizabethtown holiday committee, a committee of the Chamber. "They'll have lots of specials, so families can eat and shop downtown."

The Chamber will also host three food trucks - Uncle Paul's Stuffed Pretzels, Fuego Latino and Hitch Coffee - in the parking lot of The Elizabeth, 18 N. Market St., and people are invited inside the building to participate in free ornament making. "Cindy Telenko of Twisted Easel will be running that, along with members of the Elizabethtown High School Key Club, who will be helping families and kids make the ornaments," Ressler stated.

In the Elizabethtown Public Library, 10 S. Market St., The Train Guys will operate a model train display in the lower level of the building from 6 to 7 p.m. FX Photo Booths will host a free photo booth on the square.

Carolers from Elizabethtown College's Vocalign A Capella will stroll the streets and, beginning at 6:30 p.m., members of the Elizabethtown Area High School show choir will sing around the town Christmas tree, encouraging people to congregate for the tree lighting, which will begin at 7 p.m.

Ressler noted that the event is a nice way to usher in the holidays. "It's a way to kick off the holiday spirit in Elizabethtown as the community comes together," she said. "It's great for families to come downtown, not be rushed or hurried, but just slow down a bit and enjoy time together."
