The Trolley Drops bring their signature Twistmas Caroling back to Abbott Square Market on December 11 and December 22, from 6–8 PM. Blending jug band traditions with hokum blues, 1920s novelty tunes, and playful holiday spirit, the band reworks familiar folk, jazz, pop, and rock standards into offbeat seasonal songs that invite laughter and sing-alongs. Featuring an eclectic mix of instruments—from washboard, kazoo, and mandolin to trumpet and washtub bass—Twistmas has become a festive, community-driven Santa Cruz tradition, perfectly suited to Abbott Square’s open-air setting.
