PANAMA CITY The rotunda at City Hall downtown resounded with songs of Christmas cheer and holiday joy early Monday.
The hour-long holiday concert met dozens of onlookers who rocked in their seats as local bands and musicians performed popular selections.
Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki called the event a success and a test-run for future quarterly events. It s the first time we ve done that it was terrific, he said. We had a wide variety of Christmas music . it was outstanding. It was a chance for people to reflect on Christmas more than COVID-19, and other things the city has dealt with recently, he added. I expect us to do that again.
