The Houma Downtown Christmas Festival presents a free showing of “The Polar Express” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, 2017, in the Courthouse Square in Houma.

One hundred boxcars for children to sit in and watch the movie will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please feel free to make your own boxcar and bring it with you. Chairs and blankets are also allowed.

Each child should visit the ticket window to collect his/her ticket, a cookie, a milk or water, and a take-home Polar Express bell.

Make sure to wear your pajamas and bring a camera!

A parent or guardian must be present during the entire event. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved inside at the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, 7910 West Park Ave., Houma.
