HOW DOES HARK UP DO CHRISTMAS?
Hark Up Christmas is a unique, high-energy combination of music, movement, and visual media that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas – the birth of Christ.
Every year we design and produce a show full of new, exciting songs to provide our audiences with a fresh and fun show time after time.
This annual inventive and invigorating musical show combines the talents of local vocalists, dancers, and musicians to make up a cast of nearly 300 and has been entertaining West Michigan for 20 years!

IT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!
We are thrilled to announce that Hark Up Christmas is back as a LIVE event in 2022! There’s no place like home for the holiday so we are thrilled to back in our “home” at the DeVos Center for Arts & Worship on December 2, 3 and 4. A Hark Up Christmas is something you don’t want to miss, especially in person.
With over 250 performers of all ages on stage including the incredible Hark Up Horns and Choir, this year’s show will once again be the highlight of your holiday celebration.
As always, this show could not happen without your continued support. Please consider Hark Up Christmas in your annual giving this year.
