Knight Theater Plaza and Levine Avenue – Reverse Caroling

Join Blumenthal Performing Arts for some outdoor holiday cheer! The evening will include Christmas carols performed by a local traditional choir, local trap choir, and a few BPA Acoustic Grace alumni performers. Stroll along Levine Avenue and visit these different performance stations in what we like to call “reverse caroling,” where you visit the performers instead of them ringing your doorbell. The experience will be made complete with warm apple cider and hot chocolate.

Enjoy free admission from 5 - 9 PM at all three museums.
