Experience Historic Ephrata Cloister in a whole new light – by candlelight! As the sun sets on Saturday, November 14th, the site’s pathways and buildings glow with the light of candles, creating an unforgettable evening atmosphere throughout the grounds from 5:00pm-8:00pm. This self-guided event allows you to explore the illuminated grounds at your own pace. Step inside the historic buildings to encounter costumed interpreters, skilled craftspeople, and historical demonstrators who will share the stories, trades, and traditions of Ephrata’s past.

Throughout the night, enjoy:

• Vendors displaying their unique, handmade wares!

• Performances by the Ephrata Cloister Chorus in the 1741 Saal. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

• And much more! Please check back later for additional information on event activities and happenings!

Don’t miss this chance to experience the site’s rich history brought to life after dark.
