It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year as local venues transform their spaces into festive wonderlands full of activities and cheer. On Friday and Saturday, December 1st and 2nd, the Emerson Center of Arts & Culture will open its doors for “Holidays with the Emerson,” two full days of holiday celebration.
The Emerson will host regional vendors as part of their famed ‘Holiday Bazaar’ featuring handmade art, goods and handicrafts. The two-day event will meet all your shopping needs in one incredible location with event hours from 4–8pm on Friday and 10am–4pm on Saturday. The Crawford theater will be buzzing with the highly anticipated return of ‘Tis the Season, a fabulous assortment of local youth performance groups. The show will be held on Saturday from noon–3pm. Galleries will be open with their work for sale and fun activities for the kids.
But the event is also a seasonal escape for the grown-ups, with a saucy and seductive variety show topping off Saturday’s festivities. Get ready for the jingles, jangles and all the jiggles, because this year’s event will make even Rudolph’s nose blush! Bozeman’s favorite naughty and spirited performance, Holiday Noir, will feature an assortment of legendary local performers at 8pm. This premier comedic, burlesque, holiday-themed show is just for adults 18+. Book your sitters early and join for an evening you won’t forget! This is a ticketed event.
