Festival of Carolers 2025

🎄 Experience the magic of the season through music that gives back — Caroling for a Cause!

Caroling for a Cause brings together some of the Bay Area’s most cherished voices for an unforgettable evening of holiday cheer.

The Mistletoe Carolers our beloved ensemble of talented vocalists will open the night with a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary carols—setting a festive tone that warms the heart from the very start. The Golden Gate Boys Choir and Bellringers with their youthful energy and enchanting bellringing will capture the spirit of the season through timeless classics that fill the air with wonder and joy.

The celebration culminates with the Caroling for a Cause Chorus—joined by the Golden Gate Boys Choir and the majestic Golden Gate Symphony Orchestra—performing masterful works by Gjeilo Whitacre Handel and Vaughan Williams and inviting everyone to join in joyful sing-along carols.

Adding to the magic are our featured artists: American Idol 2025 Finalist Fido Ebid. The brilliant Reiko Oda Lane on organ whose commanding artistry has filled the UUSF sanctuary for nearly three decades; the exquisite Kaori Nakano on piano bringing depth and passion to every note; and the resonant Andrew Kessler baritone whose rich voice will stir the soul.

This enchanting evening promises a heartwarming blend of nostalgia joy and pure holiday merriment — a celebration of music community and the spirit of giving that feels crafted just for you.
