Hilton Head Gears Up for a Heartwarming Christmas Celebration!
The charming town of Hilton Head is buzzing with excitement as three local organizations join forces to bring the community together for their second annual Christmas Concert. Scheduled for December 15th and 16th, this event promises to be a fantastic celebration filled with music, joy, and a big dollop of holiday cheer.
Bringing Communities Together
The Gullah & Latino Advisory Council (GLAC), the Hilton Head MLK Committee-for-Justice, and the Hispanic Business Association of the Lowcountry are united in presenting a concert that not only entertains but also serves a greater purpose. It will take place at the music hall of Christ Lutheran Church, located at 829 Wm. Hilton Parkway. Tickets are a steal at just $30 per person, making it an affordable outing for everyone in the family. For those looking to secure their spots, tickets can be easily purchased at www.lowcountrydiversity.org.
A High-Energy Musical Experience
Terry Herron, a co-producer and performer for the concert, can’t contain his excitement. He describes the concert as “an incredibly professional, high energy, surprising, fun, funny, emotional and engaging musical event.” Herron emphasizes the concert’s role in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, where the audience can truly come together and celebrate the spirit of the season.
This festive showcase will feature eight solo performers belting out some of America’s most beloved Christmas classics. Adding to the warmth, guests can look forward to enchanting Latin singers and musicians, as well as the soulful legends from the Gullah community singing Gospel classics. Herron assures attendees that this is a unique blend of talent and culture that has never been seen before in the Lowcountry.
A Shared Celebration of Diversity
Herron describes the atmosphere of the concert as reminiscent of a nostalgic 60s concert, where love and mutual respect reign supreme. “You will laugh, cry, applaud, sway, sing along, and feel the warmth and love in the room and onstage,” he promises. This heartfelt event serves not only as a wonderful evening of entertainment but also as a vital fundraiser aimed at supporting and improving living standards and community services for the Gullah, Latino, and other underserved groups in the region.
Each of the three organizations involved is dedicated to uplifting the voices of these communities, which play an essential role in the local economy of Beaufort and Jasper Counties. Herron calls on everyone in the community to “invite them in – they are our neighbors.”
The Importance of Community Support
Attending this concert is not just about enjoying great music; it’s a chance to show support and solidarity with fellow residents who yearn to feel included and valued in the mainstream. By purchasing a ticket and joining the festivities, concert-goers contribute to a much larger mission: fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment among marginalized groups in the Lowcountry.
