The page sets December 19 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. for all ages and marks admission free. It says the performance is free to attend, and that museum admission is required only to experience Celebration Crossing in the rest of the building. The ensemble has played holiday carols in this format since 1974. The $23, $21, and $17 figures on the page are museum admission, not a charge for the concert, so the concert price is 0. A $4 parking validation is tied to buying museum admission. December 19 falls inside the Celebration Crossing season dated through January 3, 2027. The page was read through Cloudflare Browser Run and the 3–4 p.m. slot is printed as local time. Listeners can attend the hour in the Great Hall without buying a museum ticket under that wording. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Free Movie: The Muppet Christmas Carol with Santa at the Schrott Center](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/free-movie-the-muppet-christmas-carol-with-santa-at-the-schrott-center--listing-8b74e80c6eed0cdd7438e9f5) — Tue, Dec 1 · 7:00 PM · Schrott Center for the Arts, Butler University · All ages · Free · checked Oct 30.
