An array of K-12 student performance groups from across the Vista Unified School District (VUSD) will illuminate the Vista Village Winterfest and tree lighting celebration this Sunday, December 8 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in front of the Vista Cinépolis Cinemas (25 Main St, 92083). The nine VUSD performance groups will perform choir, a string ensemble, Ballet Folklorico, ukuleles, steel drums, and more. “I am thrilled we have such a wide variety of ages from elementary through high school who want to perform at the Vista Village Winterfest. It is important that our students have opportunities to showcase their art in the community,” said Susan Stuber, VUSD Visual and Performing Arts Department Resource Teacher, who worked with the district’s performing arts directors to organize the Vista Village Winterfest music and dance showcase. Stuber added, “For those who attend the event, their heart will be filled with joy as they hear the sweet sounds of steel drums, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and ukuleles; as well as watch a variety of dance performances. There will even be an opportunity for everyone to sing a few carols during the actual tree lighting ceremony.” Alongside the diversity of performances, families are invited to enjoy a Christmas film at the Cinépolis Cinemas and play movie trivia to win Santa-themed prizes or shop at the makers market and craft fair organized by the VUSD Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) featuring arts and crafts, games, and gifts to purchase. The tree lighting celebration will take place at 6 p.m.
