Fusion of Dance
December 5-7

Choreographed by visiting guest artist Hannah Baumgarten, “Invisible Cities—the sacred cult of beauty,” is just one of four performance pieces featured in the concert. CCM's Dance Division will showcase a true blend of romantic, classical, contemporary and jazz styles. Performances run Friday-Sunday. Click here for tickets and times.

Santa's Droppin' In
December 6
Santa's standard operating procedure consists of riding in a sled led by eight reindeer and wiggling his plump bottom down your chimney. This Saturday Santa is changing things up by rappelling down the side of the 525 Vine Building onto the Macy's rooftop. It's all part of Macy's Downtown Dazzle, which occurs each Saturday until Christmas on Fountain Square. There's no better way to spend a Saturday night than watching the big guy soar through the air sans reindeer, catch an amazing firework display, meet holiday characters and enjoy live holiday music. Show starts at 6 p.m. so don't be late!
