It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year – The OMV Caroling Crawl 2025
It’s time to don our gay apparel! Our second neighborhood Caroling Crawl will be Rockin’ around the Palm Tree at 4 p.m. Saturday, December 6 at Mercy-Bush Park. We’ll meet at the park and sing both Christmas and Hanukkah songs, then follow a planned route through the neighborhood. We’ll end at a host location to sing a few more songs and enjoy seasonal treats.
No singing talent? No problem! We will be an enthusiastic and friendly group of all ages. Lyrics will be provided.
