"White Christmas" plays on the Lincoln Theater's silver screen Dec. 12. Courtesy of the venueLincoln Theater is pleased to be part of the annual Villages of Light festival, bringing Santa Claus to town along with a free holiday film for this special celebration Saturday, Nov. 29 beginning at 11 a.m.
This free family event, presented in partnership with the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by MaineHealth, begins with Santa’s arrival at the theater, where guests of all ages will have the chance to share their holiday wishes and snap a photo or two.
Following Santa’s visit, there will be a free screening of the holiday classic "The Polar Express," at noon. The beloved film tells the story of a young boy who, growing doubtful of Santa’s existence, finds a magical train waiting outside his window on Christmas Eve. Accepting the conductor’s invitation, he embarks on an unforgettable journey to the North Pole, discovering the true spirit of Christmas along the way. Then families can head over to Skidompha Library for more festive activities before the Villages of Light parade!
Lincoln Theater will continue to present holiday programming throughout December with more seasonal favorites. On Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m., bring the family to sing along with Big Crosby in the beloved 1954 classic “White Christmas”—with lyrics on screen! We’ll be following it up with the classic comedy, "A Christmas Story" (PG, 1983), playing Friday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.
