Every December, hundreds of residents of Harrisonburg City and the surrounding Rockingham County make Christmas at CrossRoads a part of their Christmas traditions. The small strength and beauty of candles in the still and silent darkness allows visitors a respite from the hubbub of commercialized Christmas chaos as they reflect on the experience of Advent preparations as they might have taken place 100 years ago. Join us this year on December 10 from 3 PM to 7 PM. Admission fees (adults - $7, students - $5, children 5 and under - free) support the ongoing work of the Valley Brethren-Mennonite Heritage Center.

In addition to the traditional candlelight tour, this year's celebration includes hands-on family crafts, live music and singing, and wonderful holiday refreshments.
