The Morristown Cultural District threw a holiday party on Saturday — its first Theatre of Light, on the Vail Mansion lawn.
Despite sub-freezing temperatures, a crowd gathered to hear the Mayo Performing Arts Company sing holiday tunes.
Morristown High School junior Bobbi Baitey’s rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Someday at Christmas was among the evening’s highlights. Check out our video:

Saturday’s festivities followed a free screening of The Grinch next door at the Mayo Performing Arts Center.
The Morristown Cultural District consists of MPAC, the Morristown & Township Library, the Presbyterian Church in Morristown, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen.
