La Grande, Oregon — The Observer’s 14th Annual Holiday Music Festival will feature more than 200 local performers. The two-day celebration begins on Saturday Dec. 3, at 7:30 p.m. and continues through Sunday, Dec. 4 with an afternoon performance at 3 p.m. Both performances will be held in McKenzie Theatre on the campus of Eastern Oregon University.

Traditional holiday music from around the world and a visit from Santa Claus are sure to please audiences of all ages. Proceeds from the event will go to the EOU Foundation Music Scholarship fund. In addition, the EOU Community School for the Arts will hold a silent auction in the Loso Hall lobby during the festival weekend.
