Get ready for revelry! Take a journey with Santa Barbara Revels to early 19th century Bavaria and the surrounding regions at Yuletide. Join us in exploring the roots of modern Christmas with songs, dances, and stories that originate in the Nordic/German traditions and come flavored with the spices of Europe. Sankt Nikolaus, his helper Knecht Ruprecht, and The Christmas Revels cast of 70 actors, singers, dancers, and instrumentalists invite you to laugh and enjoy as well as sing and dance with us on special selections as we welcome the shortest day of the year.
