Kick off the Christmas season with a visit to the Tionesta Market Village. On November 1 and 2 you will find the Market Village all decked out for the holiday season. They go all out with beautiful decorations, tasty food and beverages, live entertainment, plus a visit from a special guest from the North Pole. Festivities start at 10am in downtown Tionesta.
