Clayton Holiday Concert

Clayton Holiday Concert at Knoxville Civic Auditorium

A full orchestra, the sound of bagpipes, voices rising together, and a visit from the jolly elf himself: the 40th Annual Clayton Holiday Concert offers Knoxville a festive evening at Knoxville Civic Auditorium on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 7:30 PM. If you've been looking for a reason to gather with family this season, this concert brings together the elements that make the holidays feel complete.

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra shares the stage with the Knoxville Pipes and Drums, Knoxville Choral Society, Knoxville Symphony Youth Choir, and GO! Contemporary Dance Works. That combination of orchestral music, choral voices, bagpipes and dance creates variety beyond a single ensemble. For families who appreciate live music during the holidays, the concert offers different sounds and sights in one evening.

Choose this show with the people you want to spend more time with before the season fills your calendar. A parent who introduced you to holiday music. Children ready to experience live performance. A partner who values traditions that bring everyone together. The concert gives you something specific to look forward to and a reason to leave the house as a group.

Make this year's holiday season include a Knoxville tradition. Check ticket options for the Clayton Holiday Concert and plan a festive evening with the people who matter most.
