Miracle on 34th Street
2025-12-07 14:30 - 16:00 | The Albright Community Theater, 100 N. Island Avenue; 3rd Floor, Batavia, IL, 60510, United States
By a simple stroke of luck, Kris Kringle, an elderly man with a twinkle in his eye, steps out of a quiet retirement home and into the role of Macy’s Santa, a part he embraces with a sincerity no one expects. What begins as a modest holiday job soon transforms the city around him, as Kris’s gentle honesty and unwavering generosity send waves of goodwill through New York. Parents find hope in his guidance, children discover wonder in his presence, and even the bustling world of commerce is shaken by his insistence on simple kindness. Yet not everyone can believe such goodness is real. When suspicion casts its shadow and Kris is swept into a courtroom to defend his very identity, the world turns its gaze to a single question: can the spirit of Christmas survive in a world grown doubtful? In the end, it may be Kris’s quiet faith, and the hearts he’s touched, that prove miracles still have a place among us.

First Pour Fridays
2025-12-07 17:00 - 19:00 | Patrick J. Callahan Community Center, 150 Houston Street, Batavia, IL, 60510
Raise a glass and cheer the start of the weekend at First Pour Fridays, Batavia Park District’s new monthly wine tasting series in the Sky Loft room at the newly opened Patrick J. Callahan Community Center.
The first tasting will be on Sept. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. First Pour Fridays will continue with tastings from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 7. Cost is $20 if registered in advance and $25 at the door. To register in advance, visit bataviaparks.org/calendar/events/first-pour-fridays.
“This event offers a great opportunity to try new wines, make new friends and visit our newest facility,” said Elisha Sharp, Batavia Park District recreation supervisor and event coordinator.
First Pour Fridays events feature wine, small bites and live music. On Sept. 12, the featured wines will be Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc, a New Zealand white wine, and Borsao Seleccion Garnacha, a Spanish red wine. Live music will be by Rocco Loffredi on guitar and vocals. Small bites will accompany the wine.
“We hope to create an enjoyable, educational social event in which wine lovers can chat in a relaxed atmosphere and discover a new favorite wine,” Sharp said.
The second-floor Sky Loft room offers panoramic views of the Batavia Riverwalk and Depot Pond through large floor-to-ceiling windows. “It’s the perfect location to start off your weekend with the scenic views and tasting of unique wines,” said Brittany Meyer, Batavia Park District director of community recreation.
The central downtown location of the Callahan Center makes it the perfect spot to kick off weekend plans, Meyer noted, with many restaurants within walking distance. “It can be a great occasion to try new wines and a new Batavia restaurant,” she said.
“It's a great event to unwind from a busy week,” Meyer added. “We hope this new series will connect others and become a highlight to their downtown Batavia experience.”
Please note: This is a 21+ event. Children are not allowed at the tastings.
