Step into the enchanting world of The Nutcracker this December with two festive experiences from the Chattanooga Ballet.

First, catch Land of Sweets on Sunday, Dec. 7, at the historic Reed House. Meet beloved characters as Drosselmeyer reads the magical tale — and indulge in plenty of local sweet treats.

Then, delight in the timeless story of The Nutcracker at Memorial Auditorium Dec. 12-14. Bonus: The ballet will be accompanied by the Chattanooga Symphony playing live, a youth choir, and 200+ dancers.
