Icon Park celebrating the season with nightly concerts, charity drive
For a week this December, Icon Park will be celebrating the holiday season with the first “Light the World with Love” Christmas Concerts.
From Dec. 6-11, local high school, church, and community choirs will perform nightly from 5-8 p.m. Each night, four choirs will perform traditional Christmas songs in front of Icon Park’s holiday tree. There will also be Christmas-inspired videos, and emcees will lead the crowd in singing some Christmas carols themselves. To close out the evening, professional performers will take the stage each night. This will be the first year for the event.
“At Icon Park, we’re all about showing locals and visitors alike what Orlando is all about,” said Chris Jaskiewicz, president and CEO of Icon Park. “The Light the World with Love Christmas Concerts are a perfect way to show off the talent here in Orlando, as well as to give back to the community we care about so much — plus, who couldn’t use a dose of the Christmas spirit?”
