Winter Fest 2025 begins at 7pm on Friday, February 21. New Year! New Changes!

This year we have decided to forego our traditional Winterfest Gala night for a more open ended "Make your Own Gala". We have fabulous restaurants in town that you can dine at before coming to the theater to see 2 Academy Award nominated films- "Conclave" and "A Real Pain". We are doing this to support our local eateries and to open up the festival schedule for some exciting options such as our special "Oscars History" presentation. We are proud to announce that we have 7 Academy Award Nominees for this year's Winterfest plus the nominated Shorts for both Live Action and Animated categories. These films are some of the most awarded of the night and we can't wait for you to see them all right here. First movie will be CONCLAVE at 7pm, followed by A Real Pain at 9:30pm. All festival movies are $8.50 ea.
