The festival takes place today from 11 AM to 4 PM at Laurel & Hardy Park steps, 900 N Vendome St, Los Angeles, CA 90026. Free food, live entertainment, a raffle, and screenings of the famous film are on tap.
The Music Box was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
The kicker to the film, which depicts numerous attempts to get the heavy piano up the stairs, is that Laurel & Hardy could have driven up the hill and stopped in front of the house.
