Movies and More

We’re welcoming September with a weekend full of family favorites on the big screen and a packed lineup of nearby events!

This Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., bring the kids for “Peter Rabbit” (2018). This lively adaptation of the classic tales follows Peter and his mischievous friends as they tangle with their grumpy neighbor, Mr. McGregor. With a mix of live action and animation, plus plenty of laughs, it’s a great choice for the whole family. Rated PG, 1 hour 35 minutes.

Or join us at 7 p.m. for “Babe” (1995), the heartwarming story of a little pig with big dreams. With help from barnyard friends and a kind farmer, Babe proves even the most unlikely hero can make a difference. Rated G, 1 hour 31 minutes.

Another big thank-you to everyone who joined us for the Cantaloupe Canter 5K. The race doubled in size from last year, with runners and walkers of all ages supporting the Fallon Theatre. Your participation helps us continue preserving and improving our historic venue.
