The Bing Crosby Advocates will bring back its popular Bing Crosby Holiday Film Festival in a two-day event this December at the Bing Crosby Theater.
The Bing Crosby Advocates, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to promoting the legacy of the legendary entertainer, has staged the annual yuletide film and entertainment festival since 2006. In returning to the Bing Crosby Theater after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the group is making plans this year to screen Bing Crosby films, including the star’s perennial favorite, “White Christmas”. The event will also stage live entertainment featuring Howard Crosby (Bing’s nephew), Zonky Jazz Band, and a Celtic Christmas concert given by a trio from Ireland named “Affiniti.”
Tickets are $20 per day for adults, and children 17 and under will be admitted free. All guests must present a ticket for entry.
