Third Annual Holidays Around the World at Segerstrom Center
12.20.19
Bundle up, head for Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and enjoy the line-up of FREE performances and events this holiday season on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza. While American Ballet Theatre transforms the stage of Segerstrom Hall into the magical wonderland of The Nutcracker, live outdoor performances sprinkled throughout the month showcase some of the best and brightest local musical talents. The Holidays Around the World festival includes the all-female mariachi group Las Colibrí (December 19), singer-songwriter Jonathan Walsh (December 20 & 21), and more. It may be cold outside, but with the spirit of the season lighting up the Argyros Plaza – you’ll want to bundle up and experience the magic with snowfall every night before Nutcracker performances through Dec. 22.
Right after the New Year, join the third annual Dia de los Reyes celebration on the Plaza. This cultural tradition celebrates the arrival of the Three Kings. Enjoy free family-friendly activities, live performances from local groups, and a special appearance from Los Reyes Magos (the Three Kings) in celebration of this rich cultural tradition which commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men: Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar!
Give Back
Segerstrom Center will be hosting a drive for new and unused personal care items at Holidays Around the World, including shampoo, deodorant, heating packs, sunscreen and moisturizers, first aid kits, etc. Donations will benefit the residents at The Link transitional housing shelter in Santa Ana (operated by Mercy House). The Link is a 200-bed shelter for families, women, children, and unhoused adults. The donated items will be collected on both days of Holidays Around the World and delivered to The Link in time for the new year.
Don't miss this all-female mariachi group! Las Colibrí (“The Hummingbirds”) is a string ensemble like no other in its genre. With a lovely blend of vocal harmonies, contagious melodies, and traditional mariachi instrumentation, Las Colibrí will be sure to delight audiences of all ages.
