What’s Happening:
- Bainbridge Chorale will serve up a generous helping of holiday music this weekend. It begins with a “Family Holiday Concert” at 3 p.m. Saturday at Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church, and continues with an adventurous “Medieval Feaste of Music” at 7:30 p.m. at the same venue. Catch an encore presentation of the “Medieval Feaste” at 3 p.m. Sunday.
- The EDGE comedy group makes raucous revisions to a hallowed classic with an improvisational take on “A Christmas Carol.” The show opens at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Bainbridge Performing Arts, and returns Dec. 22.
- Holiday festivities continue along Winslow Way with Santa photos, giving trees, a giant snow globe and an elf hunt (less morbid than it sounds). See the Downtown Association website for a full schedule.
