About the Choirs/Performers

Each year The Grotto’s Christmas Festival of Lights hosts choirs and musical groups from around the region to perform in the Chapel, which is known for its cathedral-like acoustics.

This season 170 groups will perform for our guests. Each of these groups will begin and end their experience in the warm-up area inside The Grotto Conference Center.

In 2019, there were more than 9,000 performers at the Festival. We expect numbers similar numbers this year. These performers all volunteer their time, and most call it their favorite venue and favorite event of their year.
