The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has just announced that it’ll host its first-ever Rock & Roll Holiday Ball on Dec. 1. Grammy winning blues/gospel singer Mike Farris will perform, and local celebrity chef Rocco Whalen will cook up a special holiday meal.

Activities include photo sessions and holiday-themed “stories of rock” inside select exhibits. The Rock Hall will be decked out with holiday displays and other décor, and the Rock Hall store will feature exclusive holiday gifts and collectable memorabilia.

The $75 ticket includes dinner, two drinks, dessert, live music, museum admission and a shuttle ride to and from the Great Lakes Science Center parking garage.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow at ticketing.rockhall.com. Members and Donor Circle supporters receive an exclusive $10 discount on tickets purchased before Nov. 7.
