Holiday Celebration Brings Local Talent “Home for the Holidays”



The City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities is proud to introduce a new holiday offering this season. Home for the Holidays brings together Richmond’s diverse artistic community to celebrate the sights and sounds of the Yuletide season on Sunday, December 7, 2014, at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, 1000 Mosby Street. The show will begin at 4 p.m.

The lineup for this holiday extravaganza includes home town favorites Larry Bland, Richmond Ballet’s Minds in Motion, the City Dance Theater, Emma Davis- finalist of RVA Got Talent, Richmond’s Youth Jazz Guild lead by Ashby Anderson, and many more.

“Guaranteed to be a fun filled afternoon, Home for the Holidays is a great showcase of talent that will appeal to all ages. The program was created to re-spark interest in the department’s city wide holiday celebration. With attendance in previous years being inconsistent, we expect the introduction of Home for the Holidays to generate great interest once more,” said Dr. Norman C. Merrifield, Director of the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities.

This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, so it is suggested to arrive early. For more information, please call (804) 646-3677.
