The TCM Classic Film Festival announced the dates for its 2026 festival on Wednesday. The 17th annual fest will be held April 30 to May 6.
The theme for the 2026 festival is "The World Comes to Hollywood." It will focus on artists who came to Hollywood from other parts of the world.
"We're putting together an incredible lineup of films and presentations to honor the multi-cultural stylings and vast innovation of the originators of our industry," TCM Chief Programming Officer Charles Tabesh said in a statement. "At this year's festival, we're spotlighting the rich history and creative artistry of the first wave visionaries who paved the yellow brick roads to Hollywood."
Movie titles will be announced at a later date and tickets will go on sale in December, but Tabesh cited the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz.
The Turner Classic Movies Film Festival takes place in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, primarily the Chinese Theater and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel across the street.
