Holiday Pops fills the Ohio Theatre December 4 to 6 with the Columbus Symphony, chorus and children's choir. Ticketed concerts with Santa photos after select weekend shows
The Columbus Symphony Holiday Pops runs December 4 through 6, 2026, at the Ohio Theatre with the Symphony Chorus, Columbus Children's Choir and guests. Tickets sell through CAPA. These are paid concerts. Bringing an unwrapped toy for FireFighters 4 Kids earns a 2027 Picnic with the Pops lawn voucher per the symphony's posted drive.
Pre-concert activities run one hour before Saturday and Sunday shows, with Santa photos on the fourth floor afterward. The theatre sits in Downtown near Statehouse parking that fills for weekend mats, so leave extra time if you are coming from the suburbs.
This is the classic seated holiday music night for families who want an orchestra rather than a mall carousel. Buy the curtain you can make on time, and pair it with BalletMet's Nutcracker later in December if you are stacking arts weekends.
