Join us for a festive celebration at the Poinsettia Pops concert, presented by the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, on Saturday, December 2, 2023. This cherished holiday tradition will take place from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Union Colony Civic Center, located at 701 10th Avenue, Greeley, CO, 80631.

The evening promises to be a memorable one, starting with the semi-annual Magic Baton Melody Contest, featuring a winning composition from a Greeley-Evans School District 6 middle school student. Following this, the concert will showcase an array of holiday classics performed by the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, alongside the Greeley Chorale and Greeley Children’s Chorale.

The repertoire for the night includes a mix of timeless pieces and festive arrangements, such as the FIXMER Melody Contest Winner, Tchaikovsky's Music from the Nutcracker, and traditional carols arranged by Powers, Nicholson, Bradford, and Rutter, among others.

In addition to the musical performances, your ticket also grants you admission to the final night of the Festival of Trees. Make sure to arrive early for a special meet-and-greet with Santa, making it a perfect evening for the whole family.

This concert is generously sponsored by Robert and Diane Miller, ensuring that the Poinsettia Pops remains a highlight of Greeley’s holiday season. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Christmas with the community and create lasting memories.
