Get into the holiday spirit with free movies at Curtis Hixon Park and visit the Tampa Theatre as it presents its Annual Holiday Classics Movie series, sing-alongs and visits with Santa.

Tampa Theatre will celebrate the holiday season with its Annual Holiday Classics Movie Series beginning in December. However, before the classic film series takes place, you will have two opportunities to see two free movies at the waterfront park at Curtis Hixon Park in downtown Tampa.

The Grinch will be shown on Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. Then, on Saturday, November 30, bring the family to see The Muppet Christmas Carol at 7 p.m.
