For the past fifteen years, local churches, organizations, and members of the arts community have come together to throw a free citywide Christmas party that features live music and arts performances, original work by local artists, a make-your-own toy workshop and many other interactive experiences.

The vision for Christmas for the City is simple – to create a meaningful Christmas experience for the whole community by:

- Inviting local artists to contribute works in drama, dance, music, literature, painting, drawing, and more provide the framework for the event.

- Celebrating the diversity of our community: people across all generational, ethnic, and socio-economic groups plan and participate in the event. Inclusivity is a high value.

- Honoring the non-profit organizations, people, and ministries that work tirelessly in our community all year long.

There is something for everyone at Christmas for the City – from the creation of a community mural, to a secluded prayer space, and of course, lots of activities for kids, teens, and friends with special abilities. We look forward to seeing you there!

Saturday, December 16th | 1- 6 pm
The Benton Convention Center - 301 W 5th Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101
