Do you have folks on your Christmas list who love the Valley’s big festivals and shows? Tickets to upcoming events make great presents.
At the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre, they’ve got some shows on the go to make this Christmas merry and bright, so why not take someone out to celebrate?
Jon and Roy’s Holiday Special, on Dec. 11, a long-standing Island tradition, features some of the West Coast’s best musicians.
The December season on the big stage winds up with A Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas — a Legends of Rock’n’Roll show featuring tributes to Buddy Holly and The Beatles on Dec. 19.
In January, don’t forget that the Cowichan Musical Society is taking over the theatre for its musical, Oliver. Go online to cowichanpac.ca or call the Cowichan Ticket Centre to book these shows.
And, when it comes to wishing someone a Happy New Year, what better way than with some super festival tickets?
