A Christmas Story | Behind the scenes footage of the filming of the movie in Cleveland from 1983.
Peter Billingsley is joining more members of the cast in Cleveland this weekend for a meet-and-greet event with fans hosted by the Greater Cleveland Film Commission.
“I’ve had the good fortune to come back a couple of times," Billingsley previously told 3News in a recent interview over Zoom. "I have so many fond memories of shooting in Cleveland. I’ve always referred to Cleveland as a partner, really, in the movie. We were a smaller budget movie. Couldn’t afford a tremendous amount of extras. Put the calls out to the city and so many people showed up in so many scenes.”
He also said this Cleveland event marks the first reunion of the "kid cast" in 40 years.
“We’ve seen each other over the years, we’ve overlapped, we worked together on the sequel, obviously, but through production none of us were always there at the same time," he said. "I’m looking forward to being with everyone and just having a chance to reconnect with the city and fans of the film.”
EVENT DETAILS
The convention celebrating A Christmas Story -- which is known as "Behind the Camera: Ralphie Comes Home" -- features a variety of events from Nov. 10-12 at Cleveland Public Auditorium. Al Roker of NBC's TODAY will also be in town to serve as a moderator for a panel discussion.
In addition to Billingsley, here's a list of the other actors from A Christmas Story who will be in attendance at the Cleveland event:
Zack Ward (Scut Farkus)
