Downtown Blacksburg, Inc & The Lyric Theatre invite you to a free screening of the seasonal classic, The Polar Express. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on children's author Chris Van Allsburg's modern holiday classic of the same name, The Polar Express revolves around Billy (Hayden McFarland,) who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it quite difficult to do so. This all changes, however, on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other lucky children to the North Pole.
