You won’t want to miss rocking around the Christmas tree at our Christmas Jazz Bistro Concert! Listen to holiday classics with a jazzy twist, while enjoying a five-star meal and great drinks. This year we also will have a couple of new entertaining acts! Proceeds from this event will go to the Food for Falcons initiative. This project helps combat food insecurity at ECC by offering a free meal a day to any student. This way, each student has access to at least one filling and nutritious meal a day during the week. Help us help our students by attending this merry evening!

Featuring: Pinckney Bend festival-themed cocktails, Christmas tunes from the ECC Jazz Band, and the ECC Theatre Department’s special table reading of “Inspecting Carol,” where the actors get their script 48 hours before the performance, and YOU decide which character they will play!
