Ring in 2026 at Raue Center for the Arts with “The Beatles in Bloom: A Musical Journey Through the Seasons of Life,” a spectacular live concert event at 7 p.m. Dec. 31.

Featuring the nationally renowned tribute band American English, this one-of-a-kind experience uses the iconic music of The Beatles to explore life’s most meaningful moments – from innocence and love to loss and renewal, according to a news release from Raue Center.
