Christmas & Candlelight puts a merry glow in Historic Washington
Old Washington was filled with the soft glow of candlelight and Christmas excitement tonight at the 37th Annual Christmas & Candlelight event. Musical performances, walking tours, a live nativity scene, and players in period dress gave participants plenty to enjoy, in addition to the holiday shopping and merry-making taking place all over town. The horse-drawn carriage was an especially nice touch. 

Over 2,500 luminaries, made by the clients and staff of ROC, were spread throughout the historic city, adding to the Christmas spirit. An array of musical performances were spread throughout the town at different times and will continue through the rest of the night. All to be repeated again tomorrow for happy holiday guests. Tomorrow's musical schedule is below.
