This schedule will continue to be updated so check back in again!
The Music from the Manger Celebration is a rain or shine event. Keep in mind that if the weather becomes inclement, the warehouse venue is rustic, and most vendors will be outside. Make sure you dress comfortably, bring a sweater or jacket if it gets cold and sensible shoes should be the option. Thank you for your attention.
