Listen! Can you hear them? They’re the street music makers of King Street. They’re part of the charm of Old town all year, but they bring a special magic at Christmastime.
First the Percussion
The rat-a-tat-tat of a lone dancer starts us off, drumming his worn taps on a square on dance-scarred wood.
His music is just starting to fade as we reach Market Square. And there’s the grand Christmas tree! It lights the whole square, and from down here it looks taller than the City Hall steeple.
Do you remember the first time you went Christmas shopping on your own as a kid? What a wonderful adventure! And we just knew that the gifts we chose were fabulous.
