Red Bank to host holiday music downtown

People can shop and enjoy holiday performances throughout downtown Red Bank on Saturdays and Sundays this month.

The sponsor of these performances is the Red Bank RiverCenter. There will be brass bands, choirs, carolers, handbells, and musicians playing folk, rock, and jazz, bringing their versions of favorite holiday classics to the streets of Red Bank. There will be both strolling and stationary performers.

Manger of events and marketing for the Red Bank RiverCenter, Tom Hanley, said that the RiverCenter is proud to partner with the many talented musicians in the area for what is known as Holiday Harmonies. Hanley is inviting everyone to enjoy the sounds of the season while dining, shopping, and taking in the traditional holiday experience in Red Bank.
