This year's Kennedy Center Honors are presented to director Francis Ford Coppola, the rock band Grateful Dead, blues and rock singer and songwriter Bonnie Raitt, jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandoval, and the venue The Apollo.

The ceremony will take place on December 8 and will be broadcast on December 23 on CBS.

This is the 47th year of the awards, which began in 1978. It is one of the major cultural events of the year in D.C., typically attended by the president and first lady, as well as the Supreme Court justice and congressional leaders. President Joe Biden received the recipients at a ceremony and reception at the White House immediately prior to the event at the Kennedy Center. The State Department also hosts a ceremony for invited guests the night before.

Done+Dusted will produce the ceremony for the third year, in partnership with ROK Productions.
