Head to the Long Center for the Performing Arts on December 19 to enjoy Holiday Pops presented by Lafayette Symphony Orchestra! There’s no place like home for the holidays – unless you are spending your evening at the Long Center for this annual favorite! Join in an evening of festive merrymaking as everyone celebrates the season in collaboration with some of Lafayette's best area musicians and friends.
Christmas is only a week away! On Sunday, December 20, bring the kids to the Polar Express Event at the Long Center for the Performing Arts. Santa Claus does not exist. Or does he? For one doubting boy, an astonishing event occurs. Late on Christmas Eve night, he lies in bed hoping to hear the sound of reindeer bells from Santa's sleigh. When to his surprise, a steam engine's roar and whistle can be heard outside his window. The conductor invites him on board to take an extraordinary journey to the North Pole with many other pajama-clad children. There, he receives an extraordinary gift only those who still believe in Santa can experience. See this magical holiday film starring Tom Hanks with a special appearance by Santa himself! Free admission for kids dressed in pajamas!
