Special Events
Come and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas spirit! Each year, on the first Monday of December, The Carriage House Inn and the Town of Emmitsburg sponsor an Evening of Christmas Spirit. The evening begins at the Emmitsburg town square with the “Town Tree” lighting—then, on to The Carriage House Inn for caroling, rides on a horse-drawn surrey and hayrides through the town. Enjoy complimentary hotdogs and cookies, and live entertainment from local vocalists and musicians. The children can participate in a live nativity scene and visit with Santa and his elves. Canned goods and donations are accepted for the Emmitsburg Lions Club Christmas Food Drive.
