2024 St. Olaf Christmas Festival

The 2024 St. Olaf Christmas Festival, Our Hope for Years to Come, will return to the St. Olaf campus this year at Skoglund Auditorium. We look forward to sharing another wonderful program with you this year while also celebrating St. Olaf College’s Sesquesentennial. There will be three performances:

• Friday, December 6, at 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, December 7, at 3 p.m. 
• Saturday, December 8, at 3 p.m. 

A tradition since 1912, the St. Olaf Christmas Festival is one of the oldest musical celebrations of Christmas in the United States. Led by five conductors, it features more than 500 musicians who are members of the college’s world-renowned choirs and orchestra.

The annual Christmas Festival ticket presale will be open to St. Olaf students, current parents, faculty, staff, retirees, alumni, donors, and volunteers the week of November 4. Public sales begin Monday, November 11.
