The City of Kirkland invites the community to its inaugural Reindeer and Reels event at Peter Kirk Park on Friday, December 11, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. This free, family-friendly event will bring a little holiday magic to Kirkland with festive activities, seasonal treats, and an outdoor screening of Disney’s Frozen.

“Reindeer and Reels is a wonderful opportunity for families, neighbors, and visitors to come together and celebrate the holiday season in Kirkland,” said City Councilmember Jon Pascal. “Creative community-building events like this one help to ensure that everyone who calls Kirkland home feels a sense of belonging here.”

Guests can meet and pet live reindeer, take photos with holiday characters, enjoy sing-along performances inspired by Frozen, and get creative with festive arts and crafts. As the evening unfolds, families can settle in and enjoy the film screening on the City’s outdoor LED movie screen.

Food vendors will be on site offering food, seasonal treats, and warm beverages for purchase. The event will also feature the Kirkland Fire Department’s annual holiday toy drive. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to help spread holiday cheer to families in need.

Reindeer & Reels takes place outdoors, so attendees are encouraged to dress warmly and bring blankets or chairs to enjoy the movie comfortably.
