For the first time in its 80-year history, the Rotary Christmas Carol Festival will require virtual attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fran Moran with Access Communications says there will still be ways for people to catch the festival from the comfort of their home.

“They’re going to be able to watch the festival on AccessNow TV, that’s our community channel,” said Moran. “They can also catch it online via livestream, and that’s available at myaccess.ca.”

The festival will air from November 30th to December 3rd at 7:00 p.m. each evening.
