Twin Peaks and David Lynch-Themed Events Happening in December 2025

Since launching Twin Peaks Blog nearly eight years ago, I’ve enjoyed the “whole damn town” of folks who love David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks and the actors, musicians and crew who worked on this wonderful and strange show. Since Lynch’s passing in early January 2025, I’ve noticed a spike in themed events inspired by his works. With that said, I’m going to attempt a new monthly article that highlights activities and events taking place around the world. If you’d like to write about your experience or share images, please reach out (contact information below). Here is a look at upcoming Twin Peaks and David Lynch-themed events happening in December 2025.

Throughout the month of December 2025, Alicia Witt (Gersten Hayward in Twin Peaks) is touring throughout the United States. Tour dates are from Dec. 3-23 in a number of cities. See AliciaWittMusic.com for tour dates and tickets.

Chris Isaak is also touring throughout the month of December at cities across the United States. I’ve seen him in concert several times now and I promise that you will love every moment of his show. Isaak, who played Special Agent Chester Desmond in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, is quite the showman. He’s hilarious and the music is top notch too!

NEW – DECEMBER 26, 2025 | PICTUREHOUSE CINEMAS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Picture House Cinemas in the United Kingdom have been holding a year-tribute titled David Lynch’s Dream Theatre. Their monthly screening of a Lynch masterpiece was paired with one film cited as an inspiration.

As they reach the final feature film of Lynch’s five-decade career, they are screening 2007’s Inland Empire, a proto-algorithmic examination of performance and reality, told through the eyes of Laura Dern who embodies an actress losing touch with reality as she goes deeper into her character. The film’s form functions just as Dern does, never making clear which plane of reality we’re operating in and becoming all the more impactful for it, as we descend deeper into one woman’s nightmare.

It’s in films like Inland Empire that comparisons between Lynch and the great Italian experimentalist Federico Fellini are most aptly drawn. In his book “Catching the Big Fish”, Lynch names Fellini’s 8 1/2 as one of four perfect examples of filmmaking.

“Fellini manages to accomplish with film what mostly abstract painters do — namely, to communicate an emotion without ever saying or showing anything in a direct manner, without ever explaining anything, just by a sort of sheer magic.”

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025 | ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA

Ring in the new year on Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at the Turf Club and Clown Lounge in St. Paul, Minnesota with “A Night at The Roadhouse ⏤ A Twin Peaks New Year’s Eve.” Doors open at 8:00 p.m. for this 21+ year old event at the club located at 1601 University Avenue West in St. Paul.

The evening event will include drag and burlesque performances from the cast of Peephole featuring Mink Hole, Auntie, Beelzebro, Blair Kitsch, Heda Thrasher, Juankie, KK Teazer, Marquis Fleur-de-Lis, melancholy (sometimes), Pistachio Creampie, Sultana and WYRMWOOD.

The night will also include a performance by LXD, a collaboration between Montana natives Lori Eschler and Dale Flattum. You might recall an article earlier this year about their music.

Eschler is a musician and composer known for her experimental music editing on Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, where she worked closely with David Lynch developing the musical language of this iconic story. Her composition approach blends acoustic elements and electronic manipulation into a layered music collage. In addition to her film work, she has played in The Bozeman Symphony and numerous bar bands ranging from rock, pop, punk, to country.

Dale Flattum is a founding member of Steel Pole Bath Tub, the influential San Francisco noise rock band. After 10 years of touring, he continued pushing sonic boundaries in the studio with Milk Cult, Novex, and Agent Nova, exploring noise, sampling, and low-fi pop. Also an accomplished visual artist, Dale’s work spans collage, poster art, photography, and graphic design, and has been heralded around the world. He remains a vital force in underground music and art.

Other performances during the night include Drey Darst Kereakos, otherwise known as drey dk, who is an indie songwriter and self-taught producer based in Minneapolis. Their songs are spacious and often minimalist, but hold heavy emotional weight. Their works thus far are heavily dominated by synthesizers, and are layered with guitar, vocal harmonization, and manipulation, drawing influence from artists like Beach House, Cocteau Twins, and The Cure.

The night’s soundtrack will be mixed by The Arm.
