Gracious God,

Thank you for the voices of carolers. Open our ears and hearts as we listen to them proclaiming Your birth. May their voices, sweet and fervent, kindle in us the fire of hope, charity, and heavenly peace.

Bless these singers with Your grace, that through their melody we may ponder Your mysteries, turn from worldly noise to Your silent love, and join the chorus of saints in eternal praise.

Amen.

Festival Continues Tonight 

Join us nightly as we celebrate 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 32 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights, including our walk-thru Christmas tree!

Get your tickets now. There will be limited admission on busy nights, so make sure to get your tickets early.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

Thank You to our Festival Sponsors
