One of the biggest weekends of the summer is finally here, and the Fallon Theatre is ready to celebrate in spectacular style. After a morning spent cheering and collecting candy at the annual Fourth of July parade downtown, the summer heat is going to be blazing in full force. Why not escape the blistering sun and wrap up your holiday evening in the cool comfort of our historic, fully air-conditioned auditorium? In honor of Independence Day and the ongoing nationwide America 250 celebrations, we are offering two fantastic films, one of which is generously sponsored by the City of Fallon.
But first, be sure to join us in front of the theatre during the parade on Saturday morning, starting at 9 a.m., as we grill up hamburgers and hot dogs under the marquee. The full concession stand will be open for drinks and all our regular goodies, but we'll also have hamburgers with a side of nacho chips and cheese for $5, and hot dogs with a side of chips and cheese for $3. Plus we'll have snow cones for $1 and soda floats for $5, both excellent ways to beat the heat.
At 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, grab the kids and step up to the plate for the ultimate summertime classic, "The Sandlot" (1993), sponsored by the City of Fallon. Set in the nostalgic summer of 1962, this beloved family favorite follows young Scotty Smalls as he moves to a new neighborhood and befriends a tight-knit group of boys who spend every waking hour playing baseball on the local vacant lot. Together, they embark on a series of legendary adventures. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour and 41 minutes.
Or, at 7 p.m. both nights, the pride of independence takes center stage with the sweeping, epic historical drama "The Patriot" (2000). Mel Gibson stars as Benjamin Martin, a peaceful South Carolina farmer who wants nothing more than to live quietly with his family. However, when the Revolutionary War arrives at his front door, he is forced to take up arms to defend his family and the freedom of a brand-new nation. Taking a powerful look at the birth of American liberty, it's the perfect cinematic tribute for Independence Day weekend. Rated R, it runs 2 hours and 45 minutes.
And with summer having fully arrived, we're gearing up to celebrate in style with Ventura Highway — The Music of America taking to our stage on Saturday, July 18, at 8 p.m. for what promises to be a spectacular evening. This concert experience brings together the rich harmonies and beloved classics of the legendary band America, delivering a timeless sound that audiences love. It's the perfect way to indulge in the sunny season, and with tickets at just $10, we can't wait to share these golden memories with all of you.
We've got lots of good stuff on the horizon as well, including hosting the kickoff concert and theatre tours for the 12th Annual Community Wide Reunion on Aug. 14 and 15, the Cantaloupe Canter 5K on Aug. 29, our 10th Annual Show-N-Shine on Sept. 26, and Lee Hardin returning for live stand-up comedy on Nov. 20. You can keep up with all the community fun either on Facebook or our website, fallontheatre.com.
And as always, we are incredibly proud to serve as your community hub for film and live performances. Be sure to visit our concession stand for fresh popcorn and your favorite treats to complete your free movie-going experience. If you are interested in renting the theatre for a private event or seeing your name in lights on our marquee, please don't hesitate to reach out.
