The ice rink at RiverScape MetroPark is now open.

Charlie Campbell's picks for what to do and see this week in the Miami Valley

Tonight at 7:30pm you can see the famous ballet Nutcracker, but now it is THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER. It's a re-mixed and re-imagined version of Tchaikovksy’s timeless music with smashing hip hop dance.

Or, a Big Apple singing star is here in the Gem City to jazz up the holidays with favorite carols and dazzling holiday classics. This is the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra at The Schuster at 8pm tonight.

The Family Holiday Film Series is on Saturday morning at The Neon. Tickets are FREE for children 12 and under, and they are available at 10:15am and the show is at 11. This Saturday it is POLAR EXPRESS.

Also on Saturday is Naughty & Nice by the Dayton Gay Men's Chorus. This is at Westminster Presbyterian Church at 2pm and again at 6pm.

In the evening when you are driving around you can see downtown streets transformed into an interactive light show choreographed to the beat of your favorite holiday tunes! Tune your radio to 97.1FM as you drive around downtown.

The ice rink features sweeping views of both the Great Miami River and the downtown Dayton skyline. It has something for everyone: beginners’ lessons, open skating, broomball, and curling, not to mention hot chocolate and music. Open 7 days a week.

Welcome to December…
