(Florence, Oregon) - The beloved tradition of the Holly Jolly Follies returns to the Oregon coast, blending a delightful variety show with a scripted performance featuring well-known characters.

The Nutcracker-themed storyline will be interspersed with exceptional vocal solos and duets, live musicians, comedic skits, and both small and large ensemble numbers. C.R.O.W.’s renowned Flight Dance Team will also take the stage, along with the fan-favorite Tutu Dads, who will charm the audience with their humorous ballet.

The Holly Jolly Follies will be presented on December 6, 7, and 8, with performances on Friday and Saturday at 7 PM, and Sunday at 2 PM, at the Florence Events Center. Tickets are priced at $20 for adults, $12 for children 12 and under, and $18 for military and students with valid ID. Livestreaming is available for all performances, and reserved seating is offered, with early booking recommended due to the show's popularity.

"This is much more than just a mainstage holiday show... it is an immersive event," said Melanie Heard, C.R.O.W.'s Artistic Director.

Arrive early to capture free Santa photos with professional Santa, Eloyd Ray, one hour before each performance. Audience members can also vote for their favorite handmade Gingerbread House from the charming display, shop at the lobby boutique for live flowers, grab bags, treats, stocking stuffers, and surprises, and enjoy delicious snacks from the FEC concession stand.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a food donation for the Florence Food Share collection bins in the lobby. Visitors can also explore the FRAA art festival and Empty Bowls event at the Florence Events Center during the same weekend. This way, you can also support other wonderful groups working hard and sharing their kindness, love, and talents.

"We'll see you in the audience,” said Heard. “If you live out of town, come on out to Florence for the magical Hallmark movie-like experience of our fabulous small town, have a blast at the Follies, and support local arts!"
