It’s hard to believe how quickly the weeks are flying by, but we’re excited for another fun weekend at the Fallon Theatre as we kick off Valentine’s celebrations with a special event.
On Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., catch Despicable Me 4 (2024), the latest in the popular animated franchise and the final installment in our six-week series. Gru, Lucy, and the girls return, facing a new villain and plenty of Minion mischief. The film is rated PG and runs 1 hour, 34 minutes.
Love is in the air as we gear up for our annual Valentine’s Day 5K fundraiser this Saturday, Feb. 7, starting at the theater, 71 S. Maine Street. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 8:50 a.m.; the race begins at 9 a.m. Entry is $25 for individuals or $40 per couple, with day-of pricing at $30 and $50. Register at Western Alliance Bank (2061 W. Williams Ave.), Kent’s Supply Center (260 N. Maine St.), or online. For details, contact Crystal at 775-304-9975 or Taylor at 775-316-0952. Celebrate the holiday and support the theater while staying active.
At 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, join us for the Galentine’s Show featuring the Domesticated Man Band. These one-hour performances are all about fun, laughter, and feel-good entertainment. Admission is free; arrive early for a seat and enjoy an amusing night of music and comedy.
Looking ahead, we’ve added a new live music night on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. with Kat & Dave: The Acoustic Rock Experience. With more than seven years performing together, Kat and Dave bring polished musicianship and chemistry, drawing from their experience touring with a major Pink Floyd tribute band. Their acoustic duo show features reimagined classic rock favorites. Admission is $10.
Behind the scenes, our seat upgrade project is progressing, thanks to our volunteers. Installation of “new-to-us” seating from Mesquite is moving ahead, offering added comfort with cup holders and swivel arms.
Looking further ahead, Fallon Theatre will host Heritage of the West on Saturday, March 7, 2026, a free event honoring the songs, stories, and traditions that built our communities. Performers, historians, poets, and storytellers will share heritage music, cowboy poetry, dance, and oral histories. To participate, email [email protected] or call 775-423-2055 or 775-217-4142.
After the daytime celebration, enjoy a free concert at 7 p.m. featuring The Lincoln Highway Band, which will close out a day dedicated to western heritage and community.
