20 Jan Celebrate Your Kid’s March Birthday at the 2026 NYICFF Festival

If your child has a March birthday, the New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) has a celebration option that is fun, easy to plan, and perfect for kids who love movies. The 2026 Festival is offering a birthday party package that takes care of the details so you can focus on enjoying the day. It is a simple way to give your child a birthday they will remember while keeping the planning stress to a minimum.

The birthday package starts with discounted tickets for groups of ten or more, which makes it easier to bring friends and family along without stretching your budget. Since everything happens in the cinema, you do not need to worry about decorations, entertainment, or setting up activities. The festival atmosphere and the excitement of a packed audience do the work for you.

When you book a party, your group receives reserved seating. This is especially helpful when attending a popular screening because it ensures everyone sits together. Kids can settle in right away, and you do not have to scramble to find seats at the last minute. The festival team makes sure the experience feels organised from the moment you arrive.

One of the highlights of the package is the birthday shout-out. Before the film begins, the audience hears your child’s name announced as part of the celebration. It is a simple gesture, but for kids, it feels big and exciting. Many parents say this moment ends up being their child’s favourite part of the day.

The birthday child also receives an NYICFF t-shirt, and you can purchase additional shirts at a discount if you want to use them as party favours. It is an easy, practical option that kids will actually wear, and it ties the whole celebration together with a festival feel.

Tickets for the 2026 Festival go on sale February 4, with early access for members beginning January 30. Even though public sales open in February, birthday party bookings are available now. If your child has their heart set on a particular date or screening time, booking early is the best way to secure your spot.

NYICFF takes place in New York City, with screenings held at several well-known venues across the city. Instead of trying to plan a full birthday itinerary yourself, you can choose a screening, bring your group, and let the festival experience become the centerpiece of the celebration.

For parents looking for a birthday that feels special without requiring weeks of preparation, the NYICFF birthday package is a strong option. Kids get an exciting day out, parents get a simple planning process, and the whole celebration becomes part of a lively, creative festival atmosphere.

The 2026 New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) runs from February 27 (or February 28)through March 15, 2026.
