"It's a Wonderful Life" Free Movie

The holiday season is fast approaching, so mark your calendars to attend Liberty Bank for Savings’ showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Sunday, Dec. 2.  Families and individuals of all ages are invited to attend this joyous holiday event at the historic Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge.  Admission is free but donations to the Park Ridge Community Fund (PRCF) are gratefully accepted.


The Pickwick Theatre is located at 5 S. Prospect Avenue, at the six-corner intersection with Touhy Avenue and Northwest Highway. Holiday music and live entertainment will start at 12 noon when doors open with the movie set to begin at 1 p.m. Entertainment will include a performance on the historic Wurlitzer organ and carolers from The Willows Academy in Des Plaines.


Donations will be accepted on-site for the Park Ridge Community Fund. The PRCF will also hold a raffle for an iPad donated by Liberty Bank and other prizes to assist in raising additional funds for social service organizations that serve the Park Ridge community. “We are very pleased to be able to again present It’s a Wonderful Life for the 12th holiday season. We are sincerely grateful to our sponsor-partner, Liberty Bank, for their most generous support of this annual campaign effort,” says Gail Haller, PRCF Executive Director.
