Holly Jolly: Holiday Spectacular Raising Funds For Blossoms Of Hope

COLUMBIA, MD — The Collective Encore will host Holly Jolly: Holiday Spectacular Dec. 15-17 in Howard County for the first time.

After a 20-year legacy, the holiday event comes to Columbia featuring a group of regional musicians that includes Jon Carroll, Cal Everett and Juliet Lloyd. It also doubles as a benefit for Blossoms of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to cancer support programs and community wellness initiatives in Howard County.

“After more than 20 years of gathering this wonderfully unruly musical family together in Virginia, it felt like the right moment to bring that tradition across state lines,” musician and event leader Todd Wright said. “Holly Jolly may be brand new, but the heart behind it — the music, the community, the joy that sneaks up on you even when you swear you’re the Grinch — has been there all along. Launching the Maryland edition while supporting Blossoms of Hope makes this next chapter feel especially meaningful. And if it all goes a little off the rails, well… at least it’ll be in the spirit of the season.”

Each night's show starts at 7:30 p.m. at The Collective Encore, 10221 Wincopin Circle, Columbia. Tickets can be bought online at https://thecollectiveencore.com/calendar-list/calendar/.
