Vintage Vibes Meet Holiday Spirit

Prepare to be blown away by two legendary silent film screenings: Buster Keaton’s masterpiece “Cops” (1922) and the absolutely hilarious Christmas classic “Big Business” (1929) starring Laurel and Hardy.

The brilliant Ken Double brings these treasures to explosive life on the magnificent Wonder Morton Organ, while the sensational San Diego Children’s Choir kicks off the festivities with show-stopping holiday performances.

Between films, Santa himself leads an unforgettable sing-along.
