❄️GIVEAWAY! Your family can win a VIP prize pack to Disney’s Frozen during Broadway in the Park in Anderson, SC. Scroll down to enter by August 21st, 2026.
Okay, Upstate families – clear your calendar, because this one is a big deal. Disney’s Frozen, the full Broadway musical, is coming to Carolina Wren Park in downtown Anderson for six nights of completely free outdoor theater. Yes, free. And yes, it’s the whole show – Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and every song your kids have been belting since they could talk.
If you’ve been looking for a family night out that’s magical, memorable, and won’t cost you a dime, this is it. Here’s everything you need to know to make it a great night for your crew.
What’s the Show?
This is the stage version of the movie your family already loves – just bigger, brighter, and live right in front of you. You’ll hear all the songs you know by heart, including “Let It Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” and “Love Is an Open Door,” plus a handful of new numbers written just for the stage.
The story is the same one that’s stolen your kids’ hearts: two sisters, a kingdom frozen in eternal winter, and a journey full of love, laughter, and a snowman who really, really wants to experience summer. It’s directed locally by Noah and Carlie Taylor and presented by Market Theatre, and it’s rated G – genuinely fun for all ages, from your youngest Elsa fan to the grandparents.

A Few Mom-Tested Tips
Since seating is first come, first served, plan to arrive early – especially on the weekend nights, which always draw the biggest crowds. Bring a blanket or your camp chairs, and pack a light layer for everyone, since the park cools off nicely after the sun goes down. A few snacks, a water bottle, and maybe a special treat for intermission will keep the littles happy through the whole show. And don’t forget: a 7:00 start means a later night than usual, so a cozy blanket does double duty if anyone drifts off before the finale.
Make a Night of It: 10% Off at Wilhelmina’s Kitchen
Turn the show into a full family evening! Wilhelmina’s Kitchen, a beloved local restaurant just a short walk from Carolina Wren Park, is offering families 10% off their meals during the run of the show. Grab dinner before the curtain; you’ll skip the parking shuffle and stroll right over to the park. Good food, easy walking distance, and a little something off the bill? That’s a win for the whole crew.
