The Esquire Theatre aspires to be a source of promotion for the arts in all forms. This year in a effort to draw attention to the arts, we are hosting the Mainstreet Film Festival at The Esquire. We strongly believe in the importance of film making and producing, especially from local artist. However, artist from all over are welcome! Any genre or type of film is welcome as long as it is family friendly. We also believe in the power and effect of film making and want to showcase, as well as, reward your hard work. Recently, the Esquire Theater has been refurbished and has become the home of a hidden gem in East Texas: The Country Music Hayride Show! Come experience historic downtown Carthage, enjoy the great local restaurants and boutiques at the first annual Mainstreet Film Festival at the The Esquire Theater in Carthage, Texas!
