We are pleased to announce the Cedar Rapids Community Nativity Celebration and Exhibit the first weekend in December 2024.

We are looking forward to an uplifting, enjoyable, and safe event. Hand sanitizer stations are available in the lobbies.

Please come to enjoy the nativity displays and the music. We look forward to seeing you

Come celebrate the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ and remember the miracle of the first Christmas.

The first weekend of December each year, community members bring their nativity sets created by artists from around the world to the exhibit. Local choirs and instrumental groups perform Christmas music and provide a wonderful atmosphere for this joyful celebration. Let us come together as friends and neighbors as we each remember the reason for the Christmas Season - God's Gift to the world, His Son, Jesus Christ.

As they perform each year, the musicians and vocalists at the Nativity Celebration represent the great talent found in our communities, denominations, and organizations throughout the area.
