(Florence, Oregon) - Get ready for one of the central Oregon coast's most favorite holiday traditions, happening December 5, 6, and 7 at the Florence Events Center. The 2025 Holly Jolly Follies bring a truckload of variety acts, dancers, singers, live music, comedy, and of course the World-Famous Tutu Dads to the little burgh.
This year’s story follows a brave little elf who gets adopted by a loving family and discovers that a bright future is truly “meant to be.” Expect laughter, joy, singing, dancing, and plenty of hot chocolate, say organizers from C.R.O.W.
“Some things in life are just meant to be,” said Melanie Heard, Artistic Director and Founder of C.R.O.W., as well as playwright of this year’s 2025 Holly Jolly Follies.
Evening performances will take place Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Audiences can expect appearances by the Flight Dance Team and the debut of the Jr. Flight Dance Team, talented vocalists and dancers of all ages, a comedic commercial spoof, and live holiday music from the Holly Jolly Follies Band.

Beyond the stage, guests will find a festive lobby boutique, free Santa photo opportunities, a community gingerbread house contest, concessions, raffles to support the dance teams’ upcoming Disneyland parade appearance, and donation bins for Florence Food Share.

Tickets are priced at $24 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under, with a $3 discount available for active military, veterans, and students with valid ID. All fees are included in the ticket price. Tickets can be purchased at www.eventcenter.org or by calling 541-997-1994.

Proceeds from the Follies support C.R.O.W.’s free and low-cost arts programming, including scholarships and production expenses for the nonprofit’s spring 2026 mainstage show, Seussical the Musical. Founded in 2011, C.R.O.W. continues to provide arts access through outreach to schools, senior homes, and community organizations. Heard emphasized that supporting the production helps sustain the local arts community, encouraging families to come share in the holiday magic.
