The festival will also include a sing-along event in which everyone who wishes to participate, will sing Christmas carols on the town square. On the streets hungry visitors and town locals will find vendors with old-fashioned food. Speaking of food, visitors can try actual sugar plums and roasted chestnuts from the Victorian period. Of course, there’ll be horse drawn carriage rides, performances, and a crafts bazaar.
