Cadence (Genre: A Cappella)
The stage lights fall, the crowd goes quiet, and four harmonious voices rise up and fill the air. The melodies unfurl into something both familiar and fresh. What comes next maybe a classic song by Joni Mitchell or Louis Prima. It may be an old bebop standard or cheeky arrangement of a
1980’s hit. But these are arrangements like you’ve never heard them before—containing all the richness of a full band, but performed using just four voices.

On a hot summer day after a long trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father. The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but laws in the United States require a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors in order to pass judgment. Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try their best to convince the 1 dissenter to come around to their side. As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of “reasonable doubt”.
Stop by Mirror Lake and test out the water with our canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Waiver must be completed onsite; all youth must be accompanied by a consenting adult. Must be 12 to be on the water solo. FREE.

Enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride, holiday music at area churches, or visit our museums and businesses that host a multitude of special events and activities.
Timed events that have become family favorites occur at locations around town, such as children’s events at the Village Hall; Santa and Mrs. Clause at the Robbins Hunter Museum; Christmas Train exhibits at the library; theatre and music at Denison University; and musical attractions at local businesses.
This annual event is chaired by the Granville Area Chamber of Commerce and is free to the public.
