Festival of the Nativities is a free event, displaying more than 550 creche, or nativity scenes, from more than 50 countries, along with live music, a sing-along, children’s activities and a food drive. The festival runs from noon to 9 p.m., Dec. 1 to 4 and Dec. 8 to 10, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 15205 SE 28th Street Bellevue.

Special guests at the festival are Claire and the Crosbys, the Seattle singing sensations, and father-daughter duo; they will perform at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4. Recently, daughter Claire and dad Dave Crosby performed for the 4th time on the Ellen Degeneres Show after Dave made a recent run on the Voice, and numerous videos on Youtube.

“We love the Festival of the Nativity. We go every year. We just love how beautiful it is and how it makes you feel when you walk in there and see everything,” says Dave Crosby.
