Deck the Chairs (DTC) announced its 2025 holiday schedule, which includes more programming and arts activities in Jacksonville Beach.

The six-week event kicks off Nov. 26 with a visual arts activity for students at 1:30 p.m., followed by performances on the Seawalk Pavilion stage at 7 p.m.

Nearly 50 student-focused stage performances will take place, featuring an estimated 1,000 young performers from Northeast Florida, including fan-favorites such as the Florida Ballet’s The Nutcracker and Tuba Christmas, showcasing 200 tuba players.

This year’s event will have 70 decorated chairs on display and a nightly light show will illuminate downtown Jacksonville Beach hourly from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be two DTC Christmas Markets on Nov. 29 and Dec. 6 adjacent to the main JBDTC exhibit.
