The Holiday Classics Series returns for the 2023 Christmas season to historic Tampa Theatre. Here’s what they announced as the line-up.
The annual Holiday Classics series is upon us. It begins late in November, and there’s no better place to enjoy these seasonal movie classics than Tampa Theatre. The experience of watching movies in this historic building is what makes these seasonal events a special highlight for the family and for the film buffs.
Having been around since 1926, it was the place to go in Tampa. It cost just a quarter to enjoy entertainment and air conditioning. In the 1950’s, as television became more popular, many of America’s theaters became used less and less. However, unlike some other theaters, the Tampa Theatre was saved from demolition. Tampa City Council purchased the building and reopened Tampa Theatre in 1977. In 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The theatre is now one of the busiest, hosting over 600 events annually, according to TampaTheatre.org. Among these events are annual movie series, including the Summer Classics Movie Series, “A Nightmare on Franklin Street” Halloween series and the Family Favorites Classics Series.
Also, as they kick off the event in the first week, you’ll be able to meet Santa Claus before the first film in the lobby. Photos will be free.
Now it’s time for the 2023 Tampa Theatre Holiday Classics Series. Here’s what they have ready for 2023, along with the trailers so you can refresh your memory. It’ll also put you in that Christmas mood.
