Turner Classic Movies has locked in its 2027 Classic Film Festival for April 8–11 in Hollywood, the network announced on 25 August 2026. The 18th annual edition of the four-day event — a celebration of cinema through theatrical screenings and special programming — will once again take over the heart of Hollywood for screenings, panels, and appearances tied to film history.

As of the announcement, the festival's theme, full programming, special guests, venues, pass information, and on-sale dates had not yet been revealed. Those details typically roll out in the months leading up to the event, giving the festival time to lock screenings and talent commitments.

One scheduling note already stands out: the 2027 dates overlap with the Masters golf tournament, the annual major championship held in Augusta, Georgia. The overlap means film fans who also follow the tournament will face a choice between the red carpet and the green jacket that weekend.

The TCM Classic Film Festival is built around theatrical presentations of classic films — often restored prints, sometimes with living cast or crew members in attendance for post-screening conversations. It has become a fixture on the spring film calendar, drawing devotees from across the United States and abroad who travel to Hollywood for the long weekend.

For fans already looking ahead, the 17th annual festival is set for 30 April–3 May 2026, also in Hollywood, with the full schedule now live on the festival's website.

For those planning around the 2027 edition, the message is simple: mark the calendar for 8–11 April, and watch for programming and pass details to follow in the months ahead.
