By mid-December of 2023, this annual round-up of Guaraldi-themed concerts had grown to an astonishing 171 entries — several of which cited multiple bookings for the given group — which was a massive jump over 2022. It covered 37 American states, four Canadian provinces and two venues in the UK (London and Dublin).
Last December was a bit more modest, with "only" 142 entries ... but that's still stunning.
Will this year break that total?
Too soon to tell, since fresh bookings will continue to be announced throughout the first half of December.
Thus far, these 123 listings cover 34 American states, four Canadian provinces and one UK venue.
And here's a new aspect to this trend: A few groups each year also have scheduled Charlie Brown Thanksgiving shows. Assuming those prove equally popular, we can expect more of them, moving forward.
I first traced the history and growth of this delightful annual tradition back in 2012, with a modest schedule that now seems quaint. This year's post will serve as a clearinghouse for any and all 2025 concerts that come to my attention. As always, I'll add to this schedule as new information becomes available, so you'll want to check back frequently. New entries and listings will be tagged as UPDATES.
Anybody with information about a show (or shows) not listed here, is encouraged to submit the information in a comment; please be as detailed as possible. Such comments will not be published, but the show(s) will be added to the roster.
