Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, will celebrate over 35 years of his annual Christmas concert tour, making it the longest-running concert tour in the entertainment industry! Davis said the hallmark tour will begin on November 14th, 2023 and run through December 30th, 2023. Two traveling ensembles will hold performances in cities across the country.
“I remember when I came out with my first Christmas album in 1984 followed by our first tour. Back then, many in the music industry said focusing on Christmas just wouldn’t work,” said Davis. “Now, over 35 years later, we are still going strong. I want to thank our fans for making us part of their holiday tradition, especially after the hardships of the last few years. Today we often see multi-generational families join us during the holidays each year.” This year’s show will feature classic Christmas hits from the Mannheim Steamroller holiday albums along with multimedia effects in an intimate setting.

💚BAR CRAWL💚
4PM-10PM
Our crawls are often called “Make Your Own Adventure Crawls”. The reason for this is that we have a ton of bars, drink specials, and other things going on, but we don’t have a set agenda. The reason we don’t have a “bar 1, bar 2, bar 3” format is because most of the time our crawls are so large that many of the bars are not large enough for the whole group. If 500 people show up to one bar at the same time, you would have to wait an hour just to get one drink!
SPECIALS WILL BE ADDED WHEN RECEIVED (TYPICALLY 1-2 WEEKS BEFORE EVENT!)

Downtown Napoleon | 4 p.m.
Witches Brew is a shopping/pub crawl that is held in downtown Napoleon.
Witches Brew started with the idea that girls just “wanna have fun” and “do good” at the same time. Witches Brew was created as a win/win event. Women can gather their brooms and friends and fly from shops, pubs and restaurants collecting freakishly good witches treats and brews and have a wicked good time! The “do good” part is that all proceeds from ticket sales and the event benefit Northwest Ohio CASA, The Center For Child & Family Advocacy and the children’s programs at Henry County Hospital.
This event is a fundraiser that is marketed mainly to women who want to have a fun time with friends which also benefits children in their community.
P.S. Wizards and Warlocks are welcome too!
