Ten years is a huge milestone for many of life’s traditions and rites of passage – anniversaries, reunions, etc. We sincerely appreciate the City of Orlando Department of Families, Parks and Recreation for inviting us to present this concert every year since 2013, and we are humbled and honored that our show has continued to be one of Downtown Orlando’s holiday traditions for many families, Orlando residents and visitors for so many years.”
- Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said: "Those living and visiting Orlando during the holidays have a variety of entertainment options to select from. The Violectric Holiday Show is a fan favorite that adds to those offerings and furthers the city’s efforts to increase cultural events downtown, not only during the holidays, but throughout the year. Now in its tenth consecutive year, this family-friendly and free show is a great way to ring in the holidays and get a one-of-a-kind downtown experience.”
