SUMMARY:Downtown Restaurant Week
DESCRIPTION:The Covid-19 pandemic has set the world back unlike anything we have known and we know that some of the worst ones to be effected by it have been our local restaurants and snacking establishments. In an effort to make it over the hump and get to the light at the end of the tunnel we are organizing a Downtown Restaurant Week. What are we asking from you to participate? Nothing! We are going to send people your way and we just hope that you are ready. What can you do to help? Let us know if there are any specials or offers that we can help you promote during this time. Simply fill out the form on DowntownTopekaInc.com/dine-downtown/ and we will take care of the rest. So thank you for being you and thank you for being a business in Downtown.

SUMMARY:A Virtually Celtic Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Filmed at the National Opera House of Ireland\, the festive Holiday concert features the ethereal voice of top Irish tenor Michael Londra\, backed by the Irish Concert Orchestra\, two nationally acclaimed choirs (Valda Choir and The Presentation Children’s Choir)\, and top-class guest singers and musicians from the island of Ireland. \nA Virtually Celtic Christmas features a mix of heartwarming traditional carols such as The Wexford Carol performed in the county it was composed\, haunting ancient Gaelic hymns\, Holiday standards and original songs that audiences familiar with Michael’s recordings will know well. In short\, a wonderful array of songs to warm the listener on a winter’s evening. \nRenowned Irish composer Liam Bates serves as Musical Director and Conductor for the show and indeed is responsible for the concert’s beautiful choral arrangements. Special guests for the night include Eoin Colfer\, New York Times bestselling author of Artemis Fowl. Friends since childhood\, Bates and Colfer teamed up in 2017 to compose a new Holiday Musical called NOËL\, songs from which are featured in A Virtually Celtic Christmas\, and are beautifully performed by West End star and Northern Ireland native Zoë Rainey (Hairspray\, Wicked). \nLeading tenor Michael Londra is originally from County Wexford in Ireland\, home of the National Opera House and birthplace of the National Opera Festival. Michael was the first local artist to perform at the beautiful space on opening night 2009. Over the past year Michael has spent a lot of time in his homeland filming a new series for Public Television called Ireland with Michael. The travel and music show featuring some of Ireland’s biggest stars\, will debut on PBS in the spring of 2021. Audiences of A Virtually Celtic Christmas will get a sneak preview of the show during the concert. \nMichael is best known as the lead voice of Riverdance on Broadway and for his Emmy® nominated show Beyond Celtic\, on PBS.

SUMMARY:Miracle on Kansas Ave
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 25th Annual Miracle on Kansas Ave Parade\, but with a twist!\nTo encourage social distancing\, this year we will be having a reverse parade around the Capitol! \nThank you to our Presenting Sponsor \n \nAlthough by name and tradition this usually takes place on Kansas Ave\, the new route offers more safety with fewer obstacles and we plan to be back on Kansas Ave next year. \nFloats will line both sides of the street while attendees will parade through the route to view the floats at 3MPH. \nThe Miracle on Kansas Avenue Parade features “lighted” holiday-themed entries and the official arrival of Santa! After the parade\, enjoy dinner downtown and stroll the avenue to see all the decorated storefronts.
