CatVideoFest happens at Tampa Theatre in Tampa, Florida Aig. 23-27, 2024.

Get ready to see a different kind of meow-vie star in downtown Tampa this summer because CatVideoFest is bringing felines and their awe-worthy charm to Tampa Theatre’s new screening room.

At what is now an annual event, CatVideoFest attendees of all ages can expect to marvel at a 75-minute compilation of adorable and amusing cat videos, ranging from submissions and sourced animations to internet classics. Director Will Braden has brought the festival to hundreds of theaters in both the United States and Europe, including the historic Tampa Theatre.

Other Florida stops for CatVideoFest include Orlando, Naples, Gainesville and Tallahassee.

CatVideoFest not only provides quality entertainment for audiences, but it also raises money for feline friends in need through partnerships with local charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters. According to Tampa Theatre, this includes the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.

CatVideoFest at Tampa Theatre’s Historic Duncan Auditorium happens Friday-Tuesday, August 23-27, and tickets are still available for $12.
