Christmas At Gordon
Christmas at Gordon is an opportunity for our North Shore neighbors, families and patrons of the arts to join our campus in celebration of the Christmas season. Performances at Gordon College are always special, but this year our schedule of events will offer four days of seasonal festivities for the whole family. Highlights include a tree lighting ceremony, community carol sing, Christmas stories by author Jan Carlberg, and the area’s most popular traditional holiday concert—the Christmas Gala.
Join us for a classic old-fashioned Christmas experience with music, outdoor tree lights, stories, and traditional performances. All events are free unless otherwise noted.
