The local midtown theater has hosted the family film festival for 12 years now as a free way for families to spend time together and see a variety of films they might not otherwise see. 

Each morning of the fest starts with games, hands-on activities, live performances, giveaways, free popcorn and surprises. There's also a daily free raffle to win a $50 gift certificate to the toy store Mildred & Dildred and other prizes.

Everything is FREE. Even the popcorn. YAS!
