It’s 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 5th and 6th, the Emerson Center of Arts & Culture opens its doors for two full days of holiday celebration.
A seasonal escape for the grown-ups, the saucy and seductive variety show Holiday Noir returns with performances at 7:30pm each night. Ready to jingle jangle? In a season saturated with nostalgia, the event is a daring shake-up that invites the community to embrace a more unexpected option.
With a cast of over 50 local artists, the show thrives on individuality and creative expression from all types of performers. It’s part comedy, part cabaret, and all heart. A fully immersive experience designed to entertain and electrify in equal measure.

Every moment is produced with the intention to surprise, provoke, and most of all, celebrate incredible local talent. 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!
Saturday will also feature a Club Noir after party at 10pm in the ballroom with DJ, food, drinks, photo ops, Holiday Noir performers and a few other saucy surprises. Tickets sold separately so Friday attendees can join the fun as well. Main event tickets begin at $36 with after party tickets available for an additional $20.
