CRESTVIEW, Fla., Dec. 8, 2025—Crestview presents a schedule of Christmas music this holiday season.

Residents are invited to enjoy free holiday concerts as Crestview High School students and Crestview’s two non-profit community music ensembles present the sounds of Christmas.

The Crestview Community Chorus has been practicing since this past summer for its upcoming performances of “Memories of Christmas.” Concerts are 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Warriors Hall in the Whitehurst Building, 201 Stillwell Ave. Donations are gratefully accepted.

The 200+-piece Crestview High School band—the Big Red Machine—presents its annual Christmas concert 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the school’s Pearl Tyner Auditorium.

The North Okaloosa Community Band performs solo this year, having been joined by regional bands for their past several Christmas concerts. Their “Holiday Favorites” is 7 p.m. Monday at the Crestview Community Center, 1446 Commerce Dr., opposite the library. Donations are welcome.

Finally, the voices of the Crestview High School chorus present their delightful annual Christmas concert at 7 p.m. Monday in the high school’s Pearl Tyner Auditorium.

The community chorus and community band concerts are programs of the Mayor’s Cultural Series.
