Holiday Pipes
Thursday & Friday

If you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of these last hectic days before Christmas, spend your lunch hour in the Fargo Theatre for some cheer reinforcements. The annual noontime Holiday Pipes concerts feature a different player at the Might Wurlitzer each workday. On Thursday it's Dillon J. Swanson’s turn to bring the cheer and Saturday will feature a carol sing-along. All shows are free, though guests are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be located to the food pantry.
Holiday jazz
Thursday

As far as traditions go, the pre-Christmas jazz set at the Delta Hotel by Marriott Fargo is a relatively recent one, but a notable one all the same. Singer Kathie Brekke and her 42nd Street Band have a standing gig for Thursdays at Urban 42, but this week they will swing through some seasonal selections. In the spirit of the holidays, they may even bring up a special friend or two. Music starts at 7 p.m.
