A holiday tradition kicks off in Ebensburg this weekend.

The 12th Annual Dickens of a Christmas celebration runs Friday, Dec. 1 – Sunday, Dec. 3.

There will be a parade, sleigh rides and breakfast with Santa.

Borough officials said people can enjoy their favorite festival traditions and look forward to new additions, like a Christmas dinner and mystery auction.

“There’s a whole host of activities, so there’s definitely something for everyone. And just seeing the town lit up with all of our lights and holiday displays is really something special,” said Danea Koss, the Ebensburg Borough community development director.

The festival kicks off Friday morning with a Gingerbread decorating contest and light-up ceremony.
