Paramount Presents: Snapshots with Santa & Classic Holiday Shorts

Santa Claus is Coming to The Paramount on November 30! While you're already Downtown for Small Business Saturday, celebrate the holiday season and have your picture taken with Santa. After you're finished telling him what you want to see under the tree, catch classic holiday shorts on our Big Screen.

This FREE event will be from 10:00AM to 2:00PM, so you can step into this Christmas wonderland between those times. Free pictures with Santa are first come, first served. Thanks to our Community Partner, Friends of Charlottesville Downtown, for supporting this event!

FOOD DRIVE

Throughout the holiday season, The Paramount Theater will be hosting a food drive to benefit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Event attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to donate to the food bank, and the Theater will have collection bins setup in the lobby from November 20-December 31.

About the BRAFB: The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank serves 25 counties and 8 cities on either side of the Blue Ridge through distribution centers in Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Winchester, and Verona. It provides nutritious food to 109,500 people on average each month through a far-reaching network of more than 400 community partners–food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, and program sites like schools, community centers, and health care clinics.

Per the food bank, all food donations should be non-perishable, with no glass containers. Items in high demand right now include: canned vegetables, canned fruits, nut butters, beans, canned meats and fish, boxed pasta, pasta sauce, rice, cereal, canned soups and stews, macaroni and cheese, and cooking oils. Here's a list of their most needed items.
