C’mon downtown – no reservation needed!

There's a large parking lot on Fulton. Please use the Ransom Street doorway, facing St Cecilia, highlighted with snowflakes & luminarias.
We start at 8 pm with Gerry Bose juggling, and Chuck Brower's ragtime piano. Check the schedule for the full listing.
The fun continues until 11 pm. You're welcome to linger afterwards (central heat!) and help take down decorations.
Admission is $10, or $25 for a family of four. (Bringing more? We'll talk!) Cash or check only, please.
Refreshments: Vito's Pizza will be delivering our pizza slices, $1 and we'll have pop available too. This event is alcohol-free.

Sousaphone?

Last year I decorated the big horn and took it to the "New Years on the Grand" event at Rosa Parks Circle. It was a big hit. And at many downtown events, I am known as the "tuba lady." (I coordinate the local Tuba Christmas concert, and I've played in the Tuba New Year one in Kalamazoo at their New Year's Fest.)

This horn comes with me to GR events including zombie walks, Santa parade, St Patrick's parade, Hollyhock parade, the water balloon fight, Chalk the Walk, the paper airplane drop, and the 4th of July fireworks.

Let's get this party started with some "heavy metal" music! (I'm playing with Chuck Brower's marvelous ragtime piano ensemble.)
