Holiday Harmonies, Santa's Arrival & Tree Lighting
Holiday Harmonies Kickoff, Santa’s Arrival & Tree Lighting
Join us for the kickoff of the 2012 Holiday Harmonies Performance Series with holiday music provided by the Chris Comer Trio, and then Santa, Mrs. Claus, Holly Claus and Caboose the Elf arrive by carriage at Museum Center! He and a lucky family will be on hand to light the Union Terminal tree in the Grand Rotunda, and then Santa will head to Holiday Junction to start taking orders! Plus, we'll be joined by all four Cincinnati Reds mascots and six elves from The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati's production of the musical Santa's Toy Factory - including 16-year-old American Idol favorite Eben Franckewitz, who made history last season when he became the youngest Idol hopeful to ever make it into the top 24!
