IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE & More to Screen at The Avalon Theatre This Holiday Season

Going to the movies is a time-honored tradition, and The Avalon Theatre is ready this holiday season with a full slate of exciting Christmas movies. Every family has a favorite, and they aren't all the same.

Our holiday movie series kicks off on Black Friday (November 29) at 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm with the perennial holiday favorite "It's A Wonderful Life" Take a break from Christmas shopping and reconnect with the true spirit of Christmas as George Bailey learns about his place in the world and how important he is to the people in his life.

Small Business Saturday (November 30) at The Avalon Theatre will feature local small business vendors in the lobby for The Avalon's Small Business Saturday Market and a screening of "A Christmas Story" at 2:00 pm. The classic tale is about life in the days leading up to Christmas and a boy named Ralphie who spends most of his time dodging a bully and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder BB Gun." Round out your festive Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday with the Annual Marysville Elks Christmas Parade starting at 2pm followed by the screening of the charming locomotive adventure "The Polar Express" on Sunday, December 1 at 4 pm.

Christmas movies will continue throughout December with classics and quirky films perfect for everyone in your family.
