Town Hall's Annual Holiday Variety Show
Gotham Holiday Swing is New York City's alternative holiday celebration. The Town Hall's signature variety show features artists, personalities, and writers celebrating the winter season, the new year, and New York City, and will ring in the holiday season with style & swing.
The Town Hall hosts an annual food drive in partnership with City Harvest. Their organization delivers food to nearly 500 emergency food programs including soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, AIDS care providers, senior centers, and children’s daycare centers that serve hungry New Yorkers in all five boroughs. We are honored to work in tandem to help those in need throughout our city. On the nigh of the show we will accept dried food, food in boxes, cans, and bottles. Patrons can find collection areas as they first enter the lobby on the night of the show.
