On the Town

EARLY HOLIDAY MAGIC

Kick off the season right this December with Holiday at the Hilde.

CELEBRATE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS in Plymouth on December 3 with the second annual Holiday at the Hilde event. The outdoor Hilde Performance Center will be decked out with holiday lights to add a magical touch to this fun family event.

Recreation supervisor Ann Mosack says the event will include photo opportunities with Santa Claus as well as live reindeer. “We’ll have chamber singers singing holiday carrols. We’ll do a take-home craft,” Mosack says, adding that there will be hot beverages and holiday treats, as well.

“[Families] come to enjoy the sights and sounds and smells of the holidays. It’s all there,” Mosack says. “It should be a really fun event for the whole family.”

Holiday at the Hilde is an outdoor event; dress appropriately for the weather.
