It is time once again for what has become an (almost) annual tradition. After a one-year absence, The Tidewater News is thrilled to once again be presenting a Christmas concert that is completely free and open to the public.

At 3 p.m. on Sunday in Franklin High School, the United States Fleet Forces Band will provide what is sure to be an afternoon of terrific musical entertainment. These are some of the country’s most talented and dedicated musicians, which will be evident to each and every one who attends the show.

We sincerely hope you take advantage of the opportunity to spend the afternoon with friends and family, and us, as we ring in the holiday season together.
