Hundreds of people recently bundled up in Marburg, Germany, for an outdoor concert that celebrated the holidays. Organized by the city of Marburg and the local American-style football club, the group sang traditional and modern Christmas carols.
Why was a football club involved? The Marburg event takes its inspiration from a long-running outdoor sing-along hosted by soccer club F.C. Union Berlin.

CSL Behring sponsored the inaugural concert in Marburg and the planning is already underway for the 2019 edition, organizers said.
