## About

The Jacksonville Symphony's annual Holiday Pops concerts fill the first weekend of December with seasonal favorites performed by the full orchestra. It is a popular family holiday outing downtown and a gentle introduction to live orchestral music for children who already know the carols and holiday songs. Five performances are scheduled between Thursday and Sunday, including a Friday 11 am Coffee Series matinee that starts with coffee in the lobby at 10 am. Student and military discounts do not apply to Holiday Pops.
