The annual visit of the Argosy Cruises Christmas ships will make three stops in West Seattle for 2014.
The first visit will be Dec. 13 and will feature a performance by the Dickens Carolers at 4:20-4:40 Lowman Beach Park followed by another performance at 5:10-5:30 at Alki Beach Park (near the Bathhouse).

Two nights later, on Dec.15 the Holy Names Academy Choir will perform at 9:15-9:35 at Salty’s on Alki where the public is invited to see the show from the patio where they will make blankets available and have the heat lamps going if it's cold out.

The performances last approximately 20 minutes.
