Music is always a vital part of any festive occasion, especially during Christmas time. Enjoy the sweet sounds of carols when you attend the Annual Olde Towne Holiday Music Festival. Usually held the second Saturday in December and offers a chance to stroll through High Street in Olde Towne to enjoy the music of choirs, carolers and children's groups as they regale you with melodies both modern and traditional. The celebration stretches out over seven blocks and also offers family fun activities, characters in period costumes and much more.
The creation of art is something that everyone should try. To be sure, the result of any artistic endeavor always yields varying results, and you can see that eclecticism of expression at Portsmouth's Annual TCC Student Art Show. Held at the Olde Towne's Visual Arts Center, students who were part of the previous year's art classes at the center produced the many works that are part of this popular exhibit. See an impressive selection of drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, graphic design, and photography.
