Movies and More

There’s something for everyone at the Fallon Theatre this weekend! We’re kicking things off with a beloved family favorite and wrapping up the week with laughter, live music, and good company.

At 6pm Friday and Saturday, join us for Matilda (1996), the heartwarming tale of a brilliant young girl with a big imagination and even bigger courage. With a bit of help from her kind teacher, Miss Honey (and a touch of telekinesis), Matilda takes on the world’s most unforgettable headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. Filled with humor, mischief, and plenty of heart, this PG-rated classic runs 1 hour and 38 minutes and remains just as magical today as when it first hit the big screen.

Then on Friday at 7 pm, laughter takes center stage as Nashville comedian Lee Hardin returns to Fallon! Known for his sharp wit and clean, relatable humor, Lee’s show is the perfect night out for anyone who loves to laugh. Tickets are $20, and seats are going fast—more than half are already sold! Plus, he’s offering a Double Date Discount again this year: bring your friends and get four tickets for the price of two! Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a night of comedy and community at the theatre.

On Saturday at 7 pm, the stage lights up again with River Rogue, a high-energy band blending country, rock, and blues for a sound that’s guaranteed to get your toes tapping. Admission is free, and the band will be playing for tips —come ready to show your support for great local music. It’s the perfect way to unwind and enjoy a night of live entertainment right here in Fallon.

The magic of the holiday season begins right outside our doors on Friday, December 5th, with the annual Maine Street Christmas Tree Lighting at 6 pm! This beloved community event transforms downtown Fallon into a winter wonderland as families gather to see the lights sparkle to life, enjoy music, and kick off the holiday season together. Once the tree is lit, head inside the Fallon Theatre where the Lahontan Valley Concert Choir will take the stage for a few festive carols, followed by a selection of classic Christmas cartoons for the whole family to enjoy. Or, at 7 pm, settle in for Jingle All the Way (1996), proudly sponsored by Premier Pawn.

Premier Pawn is adding even more fun this year with a free raffle for everyone who attends Jingle All the Way on Friday or Saturday night! One lucky winner will take home a never-opened Turbo Man action figure, just like the one featured in the movie. The raffle drawing will take place on Facebook Live on Friday, December 6th, around 7:15pm, so be sure to hold onto your ticket in case you win! And after the drawing, take your raffle ticket to Andy’s Arcade for $1 worth of play time as a thank-you for joining in the fun!

Also, one of our favorite holiday traditions returns this year with The Polar Express! Join us on Friday, December 19th, and Saturday, December 20th, for free showings at both 6 pm and 7 pm, and enjoy a complimentary hot cocoa bar for all attendees. It’s our way of spreading a little extra holiday cheer while you sit back and experience the magic, wonder, and timeless spirit of this beloved Christmas classic. Bring the whole family, sip some cocoa, and believe in the magic of the season!

Please note that the Fallon Theatre will be closed on Friday, December 26th, so our volunteers can enjoy a little rest and quality time with their families after the busy holiday season. We appreciate all they do to keep the theatre running and can’t wait to welcome everyone back that weekend!

As we look ahead into next year, we’re preparing for a very special celebration of our region’s roots. On Saturday, March 7th, 2026, the Fallon Theatre will host Heritage of the West, a free event honoring the songs, stories, and traditions that built the heart of our communities. We’re inviting performers, historians, poets, and storytellers to share the sounds and stories of the past—heritage music, cowboy poetry, dance, and oral histories that keep our western spirit alive. If you’d like to take part in this meaningful tribute to the region’s history and culture, please reach out to [email protected] or call 775-423-2055 or 775-217-4142.

As always, most regular movie screenings at the Fallon Theatre are free to attend, and our concession stand is stocked with popcorn, candy, and your favorite snacks. Want to rent the theatre for a private event or light up the marquee with a special message? Call us at 775-423-6210 or email [email protected].
