Free Children's Day Holiday Fun

Historic Elitch Theatre is proud to present free Children’s Day with Santa Claus and his Elves.

They will bring fun activities for the kids straight from the North Pole with the best films from the Children’s Day International Film Festival.

Children’s Day reflects Mary Elitch’s core mission: to introduce the cultural arts to our youth, open their minds, stimulate their curiosity, and deepen their compassion and understanding. This fun filled day will be full of activities for children of all ages and will give them exposure to high-quality films, compelling stories, and diverse perspectives from around the world and their own backyard.

These films will transport the audience into animated worlds to real worlds with beauty, thrilling thought-provoking adventures, friendships and fearless triumphs and tragedies. Our featured filmmakers are Kaelen Becker, his grandfather Bob Becker, and Nathaniel Shields.
