Cirque Musica presents ‘Holiday Wishes’ in Grand Prairie
Ringling Bros. is gone, but circuses remain. Cirque Musica is one of them, and their latest show, Holiday Wishes, speaks to the time of year. Acrobats, aerialists, clowns and musicians contort, laugh, spin, juggle and all-around dazzle with their feats of derring-do, all with a Christmas bent. It’s a one-night-only performance.

It’s the most musical time of the year at DSO
Christmastime is here, carols ringing in the air … and in the halls of the Meyerson. Broadway stars Megan Hilty and Cheyenne Jackson, who have been friends for years, team up for the inaugural symphony song series, accompanied by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. And because it’s December, it’s a Christmas concert, though expect an assortment of fun and lovely tunes performed by masters.
DEETS:
Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St. Friday–Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m.

Get into the Christmas spirit at the Dallas Arboretum
When the Peanuts gang wanted to feel Christmasy, they sought out a tree. Well, they got lots of trees at the Dallas Arboretum (heck, it’s part of the name)… but so much more. Now until the end of the year, the landmark space celebrates the holidays with life-sized music box exhibits of the 12 Days of Christmas, the Christkindlmarket Treasures inside the DeGolyer House and the Spectacular Christmas Village, which especially at night illuminates in all senses of the word.
