The Christmas Cabaret is back after a three-year hiatus! We are excited to celebrate the holiday season with you thanks in large part to the generosity of our presenting sponsor, Old National Bank. We invite you to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres as you see the season in a new light at the University of Michigan Health-West: Christmas & Holiday Traditions exhibition! This year we’re illuminating the ways in which diverse cultures use light—featuring winter plantings, the artistry of our adorned Christmas trees, intriguing cultural displays and the beloved Railway Garden.

Following cocktail hour and a performance by the Grand Rapids Chorus of Sweet Adelines, guests will enjoy a delicious gourmet dinner prepared by Executive Chef Andrew Krause and the Meijer Gardens Culinary Arts & Events Team. Then the Huizenga Grand Room will be filled with the festive musical stylings of our featured entertainer: Brian Vander Ark. Following the performance, guests are invited to enjoy handcrafted espresso beverages at our coffee bar.

Cocktail Attire: We encourage you to be festive!
Complimentary Valet Parking is provided.
