Value Nights Tonight and Tomorrow

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights is underway! Open now through Dec. 30, except Christmas Day, this annual event celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 36 nights in the Chapel of Mary, with its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights! Back by popular demand - our giant, walk-thru Christmas tree.

So get your tickets now and consider taking advantage of our value nights, tonight through Thursday, and next week, Dec. 4-7.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

Gracious God, thank you for the gift of music.

The melodies are a language all their own.

When words are added we can sing your praises, or express our sorrow, embrace your forgiveness, or discover your faithfulness.

Thank you for the gift of songwriters, musicians, singers and choir directors; through their God given gifts they share - each in their own way - your hope, joy, peace and presence with the world.

Amen.
