Step into a storybook world this holiday season as Ancient Lore Village transforms into Whoville for a magical outdoor movie night! Gather your family and friends for an evening filled with laughter, festive cheer, and a playful touch of Grinchy mischief. This is perfect for anyone looking for holiday fun in Knoxville.
From the moment you arrive, the Village comes alive with colorful lights, whimsical décor, and cheerful Villagers greeting you with carols and your own Whoville Passport to collect stamps throughout the night. Before the movie begins, enjoy a variety of themed activities:
Whoville Activities:
-
Cookie Decorating Station – Frost, sprinkle, and create your own Whoville-inspired treat

When it’s time for the movie, cozy up under the pavilion’s fairy lights in the Village Gardens. Heaters will be running, but blankets are encouraged for extra comfort.
