Marquette, Michigan--Carolers from the City of Marquette Arts and Culture Center Youth Theatre performed Thursday night in Downtown Marquette to the delight of all.

Carolers Bailie Garrow, Persephone St. Hilaire, Grace Feliz, Ali Johnson-Brown, and Briqlie Johnson first warmed up at the cozy and beautiful Marquette Commons fireplace.

Next they sang around the town on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through Downtown Marquette.

The Youth Theatre members were chaperoned by Arts and Culture Center's Nikke Nason (not pictured).
