Yonder Are the Holidays
Start your holiday adventure exploring the wonders of the Cultural Trail. After you’ve worked up an appetite, grab dinner on Mass Ave, then celebrate the power of love by catching a memorable holiday performance of A Christmas Carol at Indiana Repertory Theatre. Oh, and don’t forget to book your seats at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Yuletide Celebration to enjoy the festive tunes of Christmas Classics, both old and new. Of course you’ve saved room for some classic Chicken Velvet Soup. The Indiana State Museum’s L.S. Ayres Tea Room® is serving up all the classics this holiday season.
