🎄✨ It’s the most funk-tastic time of the year! ✨🎄
The Professors of Funk Friends & Family Christmas Special is BACK—and it’s bigger, bolder, and brighter than ever!

Since 2014, this beloved annual concert in support of Back Door Mission has become a glittering gem in Oshawa and Durham’s holiday crown. And this December, we’re lighting up the season once again with soul, sparkle, and community spirit.

🎷🎤 The Professors of Funk—a 9-piece powerhouse and one of the region’s premiere musical ensembles—return to the stunning, historic Simcoe Street United Church (est. 1867), joined by special guests for a show that promises to dazzle, delight, and dance its way into your holiday memories.

🎁 Purchase a poinsettia from VanDerMeer’s Nursery to pick up after the show
🎁 Or donate the price of a seat to share the magic and support Back Door Mission

🎟️ Early-bird tickets are on sale now! Prices go up two weeks before the show—don’t miss your chance to lock in the cheer.
