CatVideoFest 2026 is a seventy-minute compilation of the internet's newest and most popular cat videos shown on the big screen. This annual screening brings together animal lovers to watch hilarious feline antics, animations, and music videos while raising money for local shelters. Tickets start at under five dollars, making this an affordable weeknight outing. The Cary Theater is located in downtown Cary, where you can find free parking at the nearby deck on Town Hall Commons. Because the show starts at 7 p.m. on a Wednesday, it is best suited for school-aged children and teens who can stay up a bit later. It is a simple, low-stress outing that gives back to the community. You get to enjoy a theater full of laughter while directly helping the Goathouse Refuge care for cats in need.
