Elkhart Historical Society’s 35th
annual Christmas Candlelight Services to be held Saturday, December
6, 2025
[October 17, 2025]
The Elkhart Historical
Society’s 35th annual Christmas Candlelight Services will be held on
Saturday, December 6, 2025, with services at 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 5:30
p.m., and 8 p.m., and a matinee on Sunday, December 7 at 2 p.m. This
cherished tradition welcomes another season of celebrating the Birth
of Christ with a new program of script and music set to the theme,
“A Classic Christmas.” Songs and memorable stories of Christmas will
be shared, drawn from an era when simple giving brought true riches,
and the timeless values of kindness and goodwill illuminated even
the most challenging times.
Guests will enjoy the musical talents and dramatic readings of a
gifted cast, all within the warm, candlelit embrace of the historic
St. John the Baptist stone chapel atop Elkhart Hill. As dusk falls,
a beautiful pathway of luminaria will welcome you, inviting friends
and neighbors to gather and usher in the 2025 Christmas season with
a program designed to bring “peace on Earth, goodwill to men.”
Meals prior to or following
services will once again be available. The Talk of the Town will
serve the meals on Saturday at an additional cost. The Elkhart
Historical Society will take care of making your reservations. Meals
must be prepaid and can be on the same check as your service tickets
and membership. The full details are included on the reservation
form, allowing you to pick the service time and optional dining
times. Reservations are required for everything and can be made by
calling 217-947-2238.
