Each year, the Chimes host the Cherry Tree Massacre, one of the longest-running a cappella shows on the East Coast. Over the years, Cherry Tree has become the premier annual performance of the Chimes, featuring guest groups from Georgetown and other colleges, as well as professional musicians. The show in historic Gaston Hall has become a destination for Chimes and their families each year.

The 2024 Cherry Tree Massacre was our 50th Anniversary of the show, and featured a performance from all of the living Chimes that sang at the first Cherry Tree in 1974.
