About this adventure
The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's holiday variety show marks its 40th anniversary in 2026 at the Hilbert Circle Theatre on Monument Circle. Host Curtis Bannister leads a production directed by Maestro Everly with the full orchestra, vocalists, cirque performers and high-energy choreography, plus the traditions families come back for: a reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and the tap-dancing Santas. This year's acts include Nick Hodge on the Cyr wheel, Ermiyas Muluken on the rolla bolla and a violin duet by Kevin Lin and Sherry Hong. Arrive early for the decorated lobby, with seasonal treats, costumed holiday characters, photo spots and live Wurlitzer organ music. Matinee and evening performances run Dec. 4–22; weekend shows sell fast, so the ISO suggests weeknights for better seats. New this year is a Brunch with Santa on Dec. 13 and Dec. 20 from noon to 2 p.m. (separate ticket).
