About the Wheaton College Christmas Festival
A Cherished Wheaton Tradition
For decades, the Wheaton College Christmas Festival has been a cherished way to welcome the Advent and Christmas season. Presented annually by the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music, the festival features the combined gifts of Wheaton’s choirs, orchestra, band, chamber ensembles, and, in many years, invited guest artists.
With a moving blend of sacred music, Scripture, spoken word, and musical styles ranging from beloved hymns and carols to jazz, folk, gospel, and more, the Christmas Festival offers a beautiful and worshipful celebration of the birth of Christ. Held in Edman Chapel during the first weekend of December, this signature Wheaton tradition gathers the campus and community to rejoice in the light, hope, and joy of Christmas.
