Shrek Week
November 15 - 19, 2024
In a world where ogres reign supreme... and onions have layers... brace yourself for the most epic film marathon in cinematic history.
Five glorious days of nonstop Shrekdom, where the fairytale creatures are quirky, the ogres are green, and the humor is as layered as a freshly peeled onion. From the classic that started it all to the sequels that made us believe in happily ever ogre, we're bringing you all the Shrek you can handle.
Prepare your snacks, your dragon-slaying moves, and your best "someBODY once told me", because it’s about to get swampy.
This is SHREK WEEK, where the only thing more dangerous than a shark... is a really bad donkey impression.
Get shrek’d with us on Opening Night of Shrek Week (November 15). Make it your quest to participate in our costume contest for a chance to win a year of chocolate popcorn at SIFF Cinema Downtown and step into our swamp for a photo op.
