Returning for the seventh year, TubaChristmas in the Valley will perform a free concert at 3:30 p.m. in the concert hall. Artisans will showcase a variety of items including, but not limited to, holiday decor, baked goods, pet apparel, handmade artwork and holiday ornaments.

TubaChristmas is a celebration of the holidays as tuba players come together to perform a variety of Christmas classics. The various sizes and sounds of the instruments along with the spirit of the musicians make this event memorable. The idea for TubaChristmas was conceived in 1974 by Harvey Phillips as a tribute to his teacher and mentor, William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902.
The first TubaChristmas was conducted by Paul Lavalle in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza Ice Rink on Sunday, Dec. 22, 1974. Registration for performers is available at its website.
