Christmas Concerts
Christmas with Faire May
Every year, Faire May switches from their usual folk music and creates a concert of traditional Christmas and Advent music. This has become the band's 2nd busiest season (after St. Paddy's Day, of course). The band encourages you to try and make it to one or more of these concerts. They will bring you back to a simpler time and remind you what Christmas is truly about.
