LIMITED TICKETS!!!
Guests will step into a fully decorated holiday-themed venue, complete with festive décor and ice sculptures. Between the buffet, DJ sets, live performances, and raffle prizes, the evening promises non-stop excitement. Most importantly, every toy donated and every dollar raised will help ensure local children experience the joy of unwrapping a holiday gift.
We expect this year’s bash to welcome an even larger crowd than last year—business leaders, nonprofits, community members, and state representatives will gather once again to support Columbia Community Care. With world-class performers and the spirit of giving driving the night, this is the holiday event of the season.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2025
This year, the BonBon Holiday Bash is leveling up with more entertainment, more prizes, and more opportunities to give back.
Hip-hop legends Pete Rock and Treach are set to headline, bringing an unforgettable mix of classic beats and powerful performances. Pete Rock, acclaimed as one of the greatest record producers, DJs, and rappers, first rose to fame with CL Smooth in the early 1990s, and his stage presence continues to inspire. Treach, the lead rapper of Grammy-winning group Naughty By Nature, will energize the crowd with his signature voice and the timeless anthems that defined a generation. Alongside the music, every general admission ticket includes a free raffle entry, with VIPs and sponsors receiving additional chances to win prizes such as retro arcade machines, modernized boom boxes, cash, fine wines, and premium liquors. VIP guests will enjoy an exclusive lounge with high-end food and an open bar, while general admission has been upgraded to include a complimentary buffet and access to the upper-level VIP area for better seating and enhanced views of the show.

REFLECTING ON LAST YEAR
Last year’s inaugural event was unforgettable. The energy was electric as thousands of dollars were raised to support Columbia Community Care, and a mountain of high-quality toys and gifts were donated for families in need. Special Ed opened the night with old-school lyrics, while the “World’s Greatest Entertainer,” Doug E. Fresh, brought the house down as the headliner. DJ J Stud kept the crowd on their feet until the very end, and even Governor Wes Moore joined as guest MC, adding to the spirit of the night. The success of our first event set the stage for something even bigger this year.
