KZE’s Holiday Benefit Concert

KZE’s holiday party is a long-standing tradition. This year, we’re reimagining our holiday event for 2026: more fun, more accessible, more inclusive and more impactful than ever before.

Join us Friday, December 18th at Tempo Performing Arts Center in Kingston for a holiday benefit concert with Brandi & The Alexanders and Professor Louie & The Crowmatix!

Doors open at 6pm.

Ticketing will be by donation at the door, with all proceeds going to the Center for Prevention of Child Abuse.

No one will be turned away for lack of funds! Whether you can afford to give $5 or $500, we welcome you to come enjoy an evening of great music for a great cause.

Drinks will be available at a cash bar (wine/beer/cider). Light refreshments (hors d’oeuvres/apps) will be available.

Plentiful free parking is available near Tempo, on Wurts Street and nearby side streets. Please be respectful of neighborhood residents. If you are comfortable walking a short distance, there is municipal and metered parking available along the Rondout.

Beneficiary Organization

Historically, the KZE holiday party has served as a toy drive for the CPCA. This year, we will raise a monetary donation for this amazing nonprofit through our event.

“The mission of the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA) is to prevent child abuse in the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Founded in 1973, the CPCA is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to the reduction of child maltreatment. Each year, we serve approximately 15,000 children, adults, and families through prevention programming, educational training, and support services—all focused on ending the cycle of child abuse.”
