Celebrate the holidays Caribbean style. Enjoy refreshments, a craft, a community choir at 5:30, and steel drums at 6. Open House begins at 4 and ends at 7, when you can enjoy "Light the Boulevard."

Participate in a holiday party with Caribbean flair!

Enjoy refreshments, games, a craft, and the musical stylings of the Kenmore Christmas Carol Choir, and the Summit Academy Akron-Secondary High School Steel Drum Army!

The choir, headed by Abiodun Adebiyi of the department of music therapy at Cleveland State University, is comprised of community members from local churches and will perform a medley of Christmas carols.

The talented Steel Drum Army will have you clapping and smiling! This concert will showcase the talents of students in grades 9-12 with learning disabilities, autism, and other challenges.

This school specializes in helping all of our students learn and grow into wonderful young adults in a warm and caring environment.

Melanie Stoll, Steel Drum Army director, teaches steel drums and multi-percussion as a way for students to express their emotions positively and with a wide variety of music they can connect to, ranging from island socas to pop songs.

After the concert, stay on Kenmore Boulevard for the "Light the Boulevard" celebration!
