An Island Community Christmas

Saturday, December 6th | 4:00pm | Community Holiday Tree and BIC Center Theater/Upstairs

Join us to get holiday celebrations underway as Santa comes to the BIC Center from 4:00-5:30 PM with photo opportunities, cookie making, and special treats. Then, head out on Main Street for a lighting of the community tree followed by a holiday concert featuring Island musicians. Gather round the tree at 5:30 to throw the switch (follow us on Facebook to learn how you can be the kid to turn the tree on) and sing some carols. Then, head down the street to the BIC Center for the concert.  There’ll be a Hot Cocoa Bar, all sorts of holiday treats and sweets and cabaret seating so you can gather with friends for the music to come. The show will include holiday favorites, holiday readings and stories from islanders and a very special visitor from the North Pole.
