Save the date for this FREE event at the NAC on December 11
At this time of year, it’s nice to plan some family together time. It’s a busy season, with school concerts and events, holiday planning, winter break approaching (which means work deadlines) and more. So being able to come together as a family to reconnect and have some fun is a welcomed addition to our busy calendars.
Even better: When the event happens to be free!
You won’t want to miss the upcoming NAC Orchestra Players Association Fanfair concert at the National Arts Centre on Sunday, December 11 at 12 pm. This festive concert will also benefit two local charities – The Ottawa Food Bank and the Snowsuit Fund.
If you arrive early at 10:30 am, you can enjoy caroling and pre-orchestra music with OrKidstra (who I have been fortunate enough to hear in person and they are amazing), followed at 11 am by a bake sale and Santa himself is making a visit.
Monetary donations toward the Ottawa Food Bank and The Snowsuit Fund will be accepted at the bake sale.
The event is taking place at the Canal Lobby Stage and Philippe Marcoux of Radio-Canada and Alan Neal from CBC will be the hosts for the day.
ALSO! Even the parking is free!
If you have an activity advent, this is a wonderful way to surprise the kids with the activity of the day, or if you are just looking to head out with your family, friends, or significant other, mark this event on your calendar.
Learn more details and set a reminder for yourself on their website or the Facebook Event page. This event is presented by the NAC, NAC Orchestra and NAC Arts Alive.
Gift Giving with the NAC
Reminder: If you are still gift shopping for someone on your list, now is a great time to get a gift certificate to the NAC for an upcoming show in 2023, or grab tickets to one of the many family events scheduled in the new year.
