The festive fundraising event of the year returns for its 16th year! We will be celebrating together again on December 23rd at The Music Hall in Hamilton.
The first Acoustic Christmas Concert was held 16 years ago at The Casbah Lounge in front of 60 people with JR and some of his musically talented pals singing a few songs in the effort to raise money for folks in need in Hamilton. JR DiGS, known best as a Gemini and Screen Award nominated television host / personality has continued building this Hamilton holiday fundraising tradition over the years with many of his musically talented friends.
“It’s so inspiring to see how this concert has grown over the years and to know that it has become a tradition shared by so many families and friends as a beginning to their holiday season.”
We appreciate your generous support to help raise both money and awareness for so many amazing local charities over the years. It is so moving to witness our community come together with such kindness and generosity this time each year.
Artists and suppliers donate their services to the event which helps keep expenses low. The JRDiGS Acoustic Christmas Concert is a volunteer run event with 100% of net proceeds going to local charities. As always the concert will be held on December 23rd. The tickets are known to sell out fast, with last year’s Concert selling out in just minutes! The best way to support your community & secure access to the show is through one of our partnership packages.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who played such a big part in making last year’s concert such a success. Together we raised and donated $331,832 which was distributed to 54 Hamilton charities.
