Go Live with Edgewater Holiday Mix

We may not be able to get together in person, but we can still have a holiday party! 

The Chamber has collected performances from some of our talented neighbors to present to you the Edgewater Holiday Mix, a collection of songs, stories and holiday cheer for the whole family! Sing along with The Doorstep Divas, get cozy with Story Time for Drag Queens and Red Twist Theatre, and settle in for some excellent performances from Kiki Queens, School of Rock, Chicago Danzetheatre Ensemble and an appearance from Santa and Mrs. Clause!

From high energy music for dancing to carols to sing along with, there's something for everyone. Sign up for free on our Facebook Live Holiday Mix event page and tune in on December 18.
