Getting Around:
California Revels is pleased to facilitate this "coming-together" of community, but we don't have the resources to provide community transportation for this event. Take this opportunity to build community by connecting with fellow Choristers at our Saturday rehearsals to discuss walking or riding together.
Routes will be provided to all online, too!
Bring your warm coats, walking shoes, umbrellas, hats & flashlights! This is an El Nino year, and it is expected to rain!
#2 (too) Welcome "Carolers in the Rain" to your door... AND... Join us caroling!
"We are your friends and children... who you have seen before! Love and joy come to you, and to you your Wassail too!"
Your neighbors, led by California Revels' "Cantico Ensemble" and our dedicated "Revelers" will brighten your door with holiday cheer!
Plan your party or gathering around our arrival, then join us! California Revels' motto is, after all, "Creating Community through Celebration!"
This aspect of the event - a performance at your doorstep(!) is ticketed for a nominal fee.
#3 Wassail Feast! Will you sing and carol with us? Yes? Then details will be provided...
