Christmas In Washington Canceled After 33 Years


The lights have been turned off for the Christmas in Washington extravaganza, the end of the era that has had a three decade run.  Five Presidential administrations have been part of this grand holiday show, with last year’s show including the first family and performers Aloe Blacc, Darius Rucker and Rita Ora, singing the Christmas carol on stage together at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 14, 2014.

“Christmas in Washington,” which began in 1982, was like a grade-school pageant on steroids. The night was filled with marquee musicals acts such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Tim McGraw, Gloria Estefan, Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey, who crooned Christmas classics on stage while the first family and other Washington VIPs sang along from the audience.

For the big finale everyone, including the first family, headed to the stage for hand-holding, hugging and a big singalong. It was a hot holiday ticket and decades-long tradition.
