Indianapolis Artsgarden Celebrates Holiday Season with Mistletoe Music Festival

Today the Indianapolis Artsgarden kicks off the holiday season with its Mistletoe Music Festival. An annual holiday tradition, the Mistletoe Music Festival showcases the talent of local school choirs, bands, and orchestras. Owned and operated by the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Artsgarden has been transformed into a winter wonderland and is the perfect venue to feature 61 schools in 71 performances. The Mistletoe Music Festival will deck the Artsgarden now through December 15.

 

“Having hundreds of student performers in the Artsgarden for Mistletoe Music Festival is always a highlight of the year for us.
