National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 1989 (PG-13) at the Kalamazoo State Theatre
- This event has passed.
The tradition continues! Spend Christmas with the Griswold family for the annual screening of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation under the twinkling stars at historic Kalamazoo State Theatre Saturday, December 17th!
“Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas! No! No! We’re going to have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny Kaye!”
Come early and take your picture with the Griswold station wagon provided by the author of The Giving Bag Book. We’re also doing a costume contest, so break out your Cousin Eddie bathrobe, your favorite ugly Christmas sweater or your best Clark outfit and you could win a prize! Plus, take part in our pre-show trivia for a chance to win one-year membership in the jelly-of-the-month club from Bilberry Jams and Jellies!
KST will also be offering multiple full bars along with festive Holiday drinks and of course, freshly popped popcorn!
IMDB Storyline/Trailer:
