The heart warming heartwarming Christmas classic, Miracle on 34th Street, will be presented to attendees with the complete background story of how it was shot with real New York locations and used the actual Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Starring Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Hara, John Payne and Gene Lockhart and a wonderful supporting cast, this timeless black and white film will fill your heart with holiday cheer.

And you will learn that the film has a rare tie to Long Island that still exists today!
