**Noel Noel at The Rady Shell – A San Diego Holiday Tradition.**

Celebrate the magic of the season under the stars as San Diego Symphony’s beloved holiday tradition, Noel Noel, returns to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.

This festive outdoor concert will fill the bay with joyful sounds, heartwarming classics, and plenty of holiday cheer.

Led by acclaimed guest conductor Christopher Dragon and director Jonathan Gilmer, the evening features the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, San Diego Master Chorale, and the San Diego Children’s Choir, along with vocalist Devin DeSantis and a special appearance by Ken Johnson.

Enjoy a program of timeless Christmas favorites, dazzling projections by Mike Tutaj, enchanting lighting design by Amanda Zieve, and audience sing-alongs that make this event a cherished tradition for families across San Diego.

Wrap up in your coziest winter wear, bring your holiday spirit, and join us for a night of music, magic, and memories by the bay.
