Festival of Carols

Date to be announced EA Fine Arts Center

An annual gift to our community.

Eastern Arizona College’s Fine Arts Division invites the entire Gila Valley community to experience its annual holiday gift: the Festival of Carols. Held each winter in the EAC Fine Arts Auditorium, this beloved event is the perfect way to welcome the Christmas season with family and friends.

A Spectacular Showcase of Talent

This music extravaganza brings together the brightest talents from across the EAC Fine Arts Division. Audiences will enjoy a diverse program featuring:

  • Traditional Christmas classics and modernized holiday favorites.
  • Performances by the Wind Ensemble, A Cappella Choir, Symphonic Orchestra, GilaSoul Singers, Jazz Band, Encore, and EAC Dance classes.
  • The highly anticipated audience sing-along that has become a hallmark of the event.

“Festival of Carols is a gift we prepare with care and love,” says Chase Moore, EAC associate professor of music and event director. “It is rare to see a show like this that includes groups across all disciplines. It takes a lot of coordination to pull it together, so we really hope that everyone can attend and ‘sing-in’ the holiday spirit.”
