Brighton Holiday Cheer: "Holiday POPs with the Phil" and Toys for Tots Drive

The Brighton Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA) is getting ready for a festive December, complete with holiday music and charitable giving. The BCPA proudly announces the "Holiday POPs with the Phil" concert on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 4:00 pm, featuring the celebrated orchestral sounds of Michigan Philharmonic.

In the spirit of giving, the BCPA is partnering with Toys for Tots to host a local toy drive prior to the show. Patrons attending the concert are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate in the lobby, helping to ensure a brighter Christmas for local children. The toy drive collection will begin when the lobby doors open at 3:00pm.

"The holiday concerts are always a highlight of our season and truly bring the joy of music to our community," said Erica Englund, who handles marketing and programming for the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. "Pairing this event with a Toys for Tots drive allows us to use the magic of music to make a heartwarming difference right here in Livingston County." 

Tickets for the "Holiday POPs with the Phil" are available now and are selling quickly.
