The Christmas Spirit will be alive on Pittsburgh’s East End as Eastminster Presbyterian Church hosts its 10th anniversary community Light Up Night Christmas Festival on Saturday, December 6, 2014 from 6:00-9:00 P.M, at the church, located at 250 North Highland Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
All are welcome to this free evening of Christmas family fun for all ages! Outside festivities include horse-drawn carriage rides, a live nativity complete with sheep, camels, cow and donkey and the courtyard ablaze with kettle corn, walking tacos, cookies, and new this year, those warm tasty donuts from Peace, Love & Little Donuts. Inside, the fiery sounds of the Howard University Gospel Choir from Washington, DC will ignite the stage, along with Friendship Community Church’s Total Praise Mime Ministry and Eastminster's own Praise Team.
