The Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts is inviting Bloomington-Normal residents to it’s annual community Christmas concert.
“The BCPA is the perfect performance space for this free holiday concert,” said City of Bloomington’s Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Marketing Manager, Thom Rakestraw.
The concert is slated for December 16, at 7:00 p.m. No ticket is required for admission, but seating is on a first come first seated basis. Rakestraw shared excitement when discussing the opportunity to bring the public together during the holiday season.
“I think it is a great opportunity for the public to come out and see the BCPA if they haven’t been to a show. It’s nice to return and enjoy the holiday experience with all the Christmas sounds and holiday songs and performances that will be taking place that night. The community concert band is a great band so it is just a really good time for everybody to enjoy the holiday season.”
Rakestraw adds that masks much be worn as the Center adheres to Covid-19 protocols.
The BCPA is located in downtown Bloomington at 600 N. East St. For more information on this concert, contact the BCPA Ticket Office at (309) 434-2777 or visit online at ArtsBlooming.org.
