PrancerPalooza to offer holiday fun for everyone at the La Porte Civic Auditorium

Get ready to step into the holiday spirit at PrancerPalooza, a two-day celebration of the beloved Christmas classic, Prancer! This year marks the film’s 35th anniversary, and fans are invited to join the festivities in Three Oaks, Michigan, on Saturday, December 14, 2024, and La Porte, Indiana, on Sunday, December 15, 2024.

Filmed in these picturesque Midwestern towns, Prancer captured the hearts of audiences with its touching story of hope, family, and the magic of Christmas. PrancerPalooza brings that magic to life with screenings, special guest appearances, and festive activities for the whole family to enjoy. 

Special Guests & Highlights 

While Sam Elliott, who starred as John Riggs in the film, is unable to attend due to a professional commitment, his enthusiasm for the event has been warmly acknowledged by La Porte Mayor Tom Dermody:
“Sam Elliott’s willingness to join us speaks volumes about the special connection Prancer has with our community. Although we’ll miss him, we’re thrilled to celebrate with other talented cast and crew members.”

Director John Hancock and cast members Rebecca Harrell Tickell (Jessica Riggs), Rutanya Alda (Sarah), and Mark Rolston (Herb Drier) will be on hand to share behind-the-scenes stories and answer fan questions during Q&A sessions at both locations. 

Prancer embodies the Christmas spirit—it’s not about flying reindeer or presents, but the presence of those we love,” said Hancock. “I’m honored to celebrate this milestone with the fans and communities that made this film so special.”
