12/12 Mayfair Civic holiday gathering

Mayfair Civic Association and Mayfair Park Advisory Council have organized a holiday dance performance by Thwack Dance on Thursday, December 12 at 7:00pm at the Mayfair Park field house (4550 W Sunnyside Avenue). Thwack Dance will be performing to J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. All are welcome to attend!

After the performance we plan to gather at the Irish American Heritage Center’s Fifth Province pub (4626 N Knox Avenue). There will be traditional Irish music performed live at the pub from 7:00-9:00pm, so perhaps we’ll catch some of it.

See you there!
