Carthage invites the community to celebrate the holiday season with the 152nd Annual Carthage Christmas Festival, being held on Friday, Dec. 4; Saturday, Dec. 5; and Sunday, Dec. 6, in the A. F. Siebert Chapel.“Hope of Salvation” will feature performances by the Carthage Choir, Carthage Wind Orchestra, Carthage Philharmonic, Carthage Treble Choir, Vox Ignis, Voces Aquae, and Lincoln Chamber Singers. The festival will conclude with the Service of Light, in which audience members participate in filling the chapel with candlelight, and the singing of “Silent Night, Holy Night,” sending audience members forth with the joy and reverence of the holiday season.
The Carthage Christmas Festival was first conceived in 1874 as a holiday band concert and evolved in 1974 to the festival form we know and love today. Nearly 50 years later, the festival is now one of the largest and most beloved events on campus, bringing together over 3,500 people throughout the festival weekend.
