About Holiday Cheer with Fringe
Join us at our first fun-raiser of the season and enjoy a little Holiday Cheer in the Garden of the beautiful Gardens Hotel. We're presenting the musical tunes of the Coconut Elves, a trio formed during the pandemic, featuring Gary Rivenson, Roberta Jacyshyn, and Mark Rose. Enjoy a little Bach and a little Jazz sprinkled with some of your favorite holiday tunes. Doors open at 6:30pm. Show starts at 7pm. THEN it's ‘All Aboard’ the Holiday Lights Train. This open-air train will travel to New Town and back in search of the best light shows our little island has to offer. (Please check the weather so you'll know what to bring.) Your $50 includes the program and the train ride. And it helps to support our education and outreach programs. For more info, email us at [email protected].
