The Emigsville Band would like to advise the residents of Emigsville that The Band will be Christmas Caroling through the streets Saturday morning, December 24th, INSTEAD of the traditional Christmas morning.
This decision was made because Christmas falls on a Sunday this year and many of the band members attend church services, especially on such a holy holiday.
The Christmas morning (Eve this year) has been a tradition in Emigsville since the late 1800’s
