• Culkin’s visit to Ocean Casino Resort this December celebrates the 35th anniversary of Home Alone

This holiday season commemorates the 35th anniversary of the classic film Home Alone, which was both written and produced by the iconic John Hughes, featuring the talented Macaulay Culkin.

To celebrate the enduring legacy of this cinematic classic, Culkin is traveling across the nation with the “A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin” tour. The event is slated for December 7 at Ocean Casino Resort’s Ovation Hall.

The evening will feature a special screening of the beloved film, which debuted 35 years ago on November 16, 1990, followed by a moderated discussion with Culkin, complete with an audience Q&A session.

“Experience the film’s memorable scenes on the big screen, and enjoy insider stories, cherished moments from the shoot, and Culkin’s opinions on what makes the movie a timeless holiday favorite. Ideal for fans of all ages, this extraordinary evening promises joy, nostalgia, and the holiday spirit in an unforgettable event,” reads the event advertisement.

The film will commence at 4 PM on that Sunday.

Tickets for “A Nostalgic Night” start at $45.85, an amount that includes all applicable taxes and Ticketmaster fees. For die-hard Home Alone enthusiasts and Culkin supporters, select orchestra seats paired with a VIP meet and greet package have already sold out for several hundred dollars each. 

Culkin’s Stardom

Culkin stands as one of the most beloved and iconic child actors in the history of American entertainment. Beyond his renowned roles in Home Alone and Home Alone 2, he also starred in the blockbuster hit My Girl in 1991. His 1993 thriller The Good Son further solidified his status as a box-office sensation.

At the height of his career, he was the highest-earning child actor in Hollywood, stepping back from the limelight in 1995.

Culkin’s 14-stop Home Alone tour begins on November 22 in Long Beach, California. During the tour, he aims to share anecdotes from the set, his personal film favorites, and his insights on why Home Alone holds such a special place during the holiday season.
