Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, will host a candlelight open house on Saturday, Nov. 30, from 5 to 8:30 p.m.

Attendees may explore the historic buildings of Ephrata Cloister illuminated by candlelight. Local craftspeople will be on hand to share their stories and display their wares, and visitors may browse items at the museum store.

Upon entry, visitors may stop by a designated table to pick up wristband tickets for one of the three Ephrata Cloister Chorus performances in the 1741 Saal at 5:30, 6:30, or 7:30 p.m. The performances are included with admission, and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, as seating is limited.
