You’re Home for the Holidays

At the Kennedy Center, the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year! This season, we invite you to join us for enlivening performances.

Bring your entire family to the cherished classic, this year the D.C. premiere of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™ as danced by Pennsylvania Ballet. Immerse yourself in the NSO's performances of Handel's epic Messiah. Get into the spirit with Marvin Hamlisch and the NSO Pops as they present their traditional Happy Holidays! concert. Ring in the New Year with A Jazz New Year's Eve followed by festivities after the show. Make the holidays come ALIVE with Young Frankenstein. And much more!
