Celebrate the Holidays at Your Historic Chateau Theatre!

The holidays are a time for joy, family, friends, and fun! And this year, the Historic Chateau Theatre has put together an event lineup that ensures you have a holiday season to remember. From festive performances and markets to family-friendly activities, movies, and more, there's something for everyone at your Chateau this holiday season.

On November 29 we are delighted to participate in Downtown Rochester's beloved family tradition, Here Comes Santa Claus. Before Santa's Rescue and the Peace Plaza Tree Lighting, visit the Chateau for Mrs. Claus's Holiday Festival! Enjoy merry music, family-friendly games and activities, and storytime with Mrs. Claus. 

Shop Local at the Chateau Winter Market

No holiday season is complete without a little shopping, and it is more important than ever that we support our community by shopping locally and buying directly from the source. The third annual Chateau Winter Market is a thoughtfully curated indoor market featuring food, drink, and live music for attendees to enjoy while they explore the offerings of more than forty local vendors. It's more than a market, it’s a community experience you will not soon forget.

Free family fun awaits

Looking for some fun activities to do with the whole family? Test your teamwork skills at our free monthly Puzzle Night (on December 11 we encourage you to wear your favorite Christmas sweater!) or attend one of our free family movies in partnership with DMC and Pop’s Art Theater - Elf on December 8 and The Polar Express on December 15

The little ones will love our Winter Workshops on December 8 & 15, offering a variety of seasonal activities including cookie decorating, crafts, games, festive music, and a winter-themed photo booth - presented in partnership with the Rochester Downtown Alliance.

Give the gift of quality time with your loved ones, and take in a concert at your Chateau. Tickets are on sale and moving quickly - these events will get you in the holiday spirit and start your new year off right.
