Overly CollageThere are Holiday festivals of lights and then there is Overly's Country Christmas!  This unbelievable display has been recognized nationally and featured on Good Morning America and in countless articles locally regionally and nationally.  It is recognized as one of the best in America.

Begun as a simple display at the home of Harry Overly for neighborhood children, the scenes have grown dramatically and soon overwhelmed the family's ability to do it on their own.  For the first 35 years it was held at the family's 7 acre estate.  Soon the event was raising funds for Children's Hospital in PittOverly Caroselsburgh and Westmoreland Hospital's Children's Medical Services.  Now with countless volunteers and a charitable non-profit coporation devoted to raising funds for all manner of children's services Overly's Country Christmas has a permanent home at the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds.

Not only can you drive through the display, you can walk through this 5+ acre fairytale village of well over 2 million lights in a country village setting at the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds.  Take a horse-drawn carriage or sleigh ride through the village; visit an enormous G-gauge model train display; visit the general store to stock up on Christmas gifts, decor and myriad thoughtful and hand-made crafts; join in the caroling around the bonfire; check out the Sweet Shoppe for achingly good edibles.

The display is open from November 20th till January 1 and includes Christmas Eve.  Don't miss this wonderland of sights, sounds and singing.  Open fromOverly Church about Overly Trains5PM till 10POverly ChoirOverly StorytimeM daily.
