The Christmas season in Monmouth is kicked off with the Christmas at Monmouth Festival Concerts, which are performed to full houses the first weekend of December each year.

These large-scale concerts are a continuous musical telling of the Christmas story with the narration and music intertwining to bring to life the great emotions of the Holiday season.

Performers include the Monmouth Chorale, Concert Choir, Women’s Choir, String Ensemble, and Wind Ensemble, and the concerts are produced in a collaborative effort with the Theater and Art Departments.
