Harvey L. Hall’s Christmas Matinee
Rekindle memories of the Saturday Matinee this holiday season, while bringing joy to children facing extraordinary circumstances.
Harvey L. Hall’s Christmas Matinee will premiere The Polar Express, directed by Robert Zemeckis and featuring Tom Hanks. This holiday classic tells the story of a doubting boy who boards a magical train that is headed to the North Pole and Santa’s home on Christmas Eve. The Polar Express was selected for the positive message it conveys about the wonder of life which never fades for those who believe.

Harvey L. Hall’s Christmas Matinee kicks off at 2p.m. with Sirens of the Season, a display of emergency vehicles scheduled to include ambulances, fire engines, and police cars. Kids of all ages will get a close-up look at EMS and public safety vehicles and a chance to interact with paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, and law enforcement personnel in a relaxed, friendly manner.
Hall Ambulance’s emergency medical dispatchers have been in contact with the North Pole, and confirmed that Santa will arrive in grand-style at 2:30 p.m. Santa will proceed inside of the Fox Theater’s lobby to take photos with the children in attendance while listening to their Christmas wishes.
Harvey L. Hall’s Christmas Matinee promises an afternoon of merry, family fun!
