The world’s No. 1 cat video festival is back with screenings in theaters around the world starting in August.

Court Square Theater (CST) announces four showings of CatVideoFest 2024, a 73-minute compilation reel full of family-friendly fabulous felines.

Showtimes will be Saturday, August 3, 2024 at 5 p.m., Sunday, August 4 at 2 p.m., Saturday, August 10 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 11 at 3 p.m. General admission tickets are $15 per adult and $12 per student and are available online and at the door. Showtimes are subject to change.

No longer a guilty pleasure, indulging in cat cuteness can actually be a component of self-care. According to Elizabeth Bernstein in the Wall Street Journal: “Watching silly cat videos is good for you.”

Oscilloscope Laboratories presents CatVideoFest 2024, a compilation of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos and classic internet powerhouses.

The joyous communal experience also raises money for local cats in need. A portion of ticket sales for the four screenings will benefit Anicira Harrisonburg Veterinary Center, committed to serving animals and our community through veterinary services, education, outreach, shelter, care and protection programs to help animals live healthy lives in a safe environment.

Court Square Theater is operated by Arts Council of the Valley (ACV) at 41-F Court Square, Harrisonburg.

Guilty pleasure time: CatVideoFest returns for three afternoons in September (augustafreepress.com)
