Free Holiday Concert for the Community
Saturday, December 4, 2010
2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Lake Eola Bandshell in Downtown Orlando
195 N Rosalind Ave Orlando 32801

The Central Florida community is invited to a free holiday concert to benefit the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program, which provides Christmas for children and seniors in need. While there is no admission charge, a donation of a new toy, new article of children’s clothing or monetary donations will be accepted. On-air personalities from WKMG-TV and music from the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras will help you ring in the holidays with a wide selection of holiday music; from traditional beloved favorites to newer compositions that bring fun to this most wonderful time of year. The Salvation Army will provide free refreshments and the Chick-Fil-A cows will be on hand as well, handing out coupons. Be sure to bring your camera too, because a very special jolly old elf will be making a special appearance! We hope you will join us to welcome in the holidays and share the generosity of the season!
