This holiday season, Ancient Lore Village invites you to step straight into Whoville for a magical movie night under the stars! Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, holiday cheer, and a mischievous touch of Grinchy fun. If you’re looking for festive things to do in Knoxville, this whimsical celebration is the perfect way to gather family and friends before Christmas.
From the moment you arrive, the Village sparkles with colorful lights, quirky holiday trees, and whimsical décor that feels straight out of a storybook. Cheerful “Villagers” will greet you with carols, festive spirit, and your very own Whoville Passport to collect stamps throughout the night. Before the movie begins, explore an array of holiday activities that bring the magic of Whoville to life:
Whoville Cookie Decorating Station – Create your own sweet masterpiece with frosting and candy
Grinchy Green Hot Cocoa Bar – A festive treat topped with whipped cream, candy canes, and sprinkles
Meet & Greet with the Grinch – Keep an eye out for our playful Grinch as he sneaks about, steals candy canes, and photobombs pictures
When it’s time for the feature presentation, cozy up under the fairy lights in the Pavilion at the Village Gardens. Heaters will keep things warm, but we recommend bringing blankets so little ones can cuddle up for extra comfort. Each seat includes a Grinch Snack Pack with popcorn and candy canes, making the movie-watching experience even sweeter. Seating will be arranged at tables of 10, and chairs can be turned for the best view of the oversized screen.
