An Annual Tradition

2025 Date: Thursday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m.

FREE and Open to the Public

Since 1977 the Handbell Choir has performed in John M. Hall to an audience from around the country and including Europe. People travel here to listen to the sound of handbells ringing in Bay View. For over three decades, the Handbell Choir has raised money to support Music Scholarships for Bay View. The highlight of the week for the handbell choir is in donating all of the proceeds from their concert for music scholarships. A very generous gift when you think about over 30 years of giving back to the Bay View community! Each year the 100+ handbell musicians from across the USA, Canada and Europe are selected to perform in the “Donald E. Allured Bay View Week of Handbells” in August. If you have never attended this festive gathering or heard the sweet touch and majestic ringing of the handbells, it’s a must see event!
