Snow flurries dance in the crisp winter breeze. It's a lovely sight to behold and beheld it will be this December weekend in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. For the 18 th straight year, Wellsboro turns into a quaint Victorian Christmas village. This weekend, December 1-3, those travelling to Tioga's county seat will feel as if they've stepped back in time. They'll find all of the elements that make the holiday season complete, including Santa Clause, roving musicians, festive decorations and holiday concerts.
Children can ride a pony, the Santa Train, or both.
Making the celebration so authentic are the people in costume, running the more than 150 outdoor vendor booths, cooking Victorian fare, and singing carols. Wellsboro's high school band provides much of the musical entertainment. Area shops and restaurants open their doors, inviting shoppers in from the cold. Prior to lighting the tree, a candlelit procession of participants in the Walk for Peace joins the crowd. The walk spans four blocks from Packer Park on Queen Street to the Green in the center of town.
