Get ready for the purr-fect movie event of the year. CatVideoFest 2026 is a curated compilation of the latest and greatest cat videos from around the world, featuring hilarious viral clips, heartwarming moments, animations, music videos, and unique feline stories—all on the big screen.

Whether you’re a lifelong cat lover or simply looking for a fun night out, CatVideoFest delivers nonstop laughs, plenty of “awws,” and a one-of-a-kind shared moviegoing experience for audiences of all ages.

“Watching silly cat videos is good for you.” — The Wall Street Journal

“The great thing about CatVideoFest is that it’s exactly what you think it is: 73 minutes of nonstop cat videos. It feels like a wholesome time capsule of the early-YouTube internet…” — Variety (Brent Lang)

“The whole point of CatVideoFest is taking this individual thing of watching cat videos… and turning it into a communal experience.” — Will Braden, creator and curator, in The Washington Post

Best of all, every screening gives back. A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit Springfield Kitty Cat Shack Rescue.

Bring your friends, family, and fellow cat enthusiasts for a feel-good event that will leave you smiling long after the credits roll. Don’t miss CatVideoFest 2026—where cats rule the big screen.
