Capital City Film Festival is turning Sweet Sixteen, and we’re celebrating the only way that makes sense: on the red carpet.

Join us for CCFF’s Red Carpet Premiere Party as we kick off the 2026 festival on Thursday, April 9 at Central United Methodist Church! Picture it now — a night of music, paparazzi-style photo ops, and red-carpet glam that’s honestly kind of iconic. You’ll feel like the most famous person in mid-Michigan.

WHEN: We’re partying from 6-10 PM on Thursday, April 9.

WHERE: Meet us at Central United Methodist Church (215 N Capitol Ave, Lansing, MI 48933).

COST: $20 in advance or $30 at the door.

Appetizers will be provided. Drinks will be available for purchase.

Reminder: Entry to this party (and alllll the films, panels, and events on our 2026 roster) is included with a CCFF pass. You don't want to miss all we have to offer — so consider purchasing a GA pass instead of a single event ticket.
