Local school choirs will spread holiday cheer during Songfest at Delaware County Government Center

Young carolers from several Delaware County middle and elementary schools will spread holiday cheer throughout the Delaware County Government Center during the annual Songfest, that runs during lunch time Dec. 16 to 20.

Employees, residents and people doing business at the Courthouse are invited to stop by and hear the sounds of the holidays as they echo throughout the Government Center, conjuring visions of sugarplums, tin drums and Frosty the Snowman.

Each year, students from schools across the county perform seasonal holiday selections with their choral groups in the Government Center lobby and in front of the Courthouse.

The Songfest will kick off at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 16 in front of the Courthouse. The remainder of the songfest performances that day and throughout the week will be held on the ground floor of the Delaware County Government Center lobby, 201 W. Front St., Media. The holiday performance on Thursday, Dec. 19, is for employees only and requires preregistration.
