The Grand Dame of Palafox's 100th Birthday Street Party
The Real Birthday Party happens Sunday, April 6th. Saturday, May 24th.
Portions of Palafox St and Intendencia St will be closed from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Think of it as a Mini-Gallery Night.
There will be food trucks, vendors, street entertainment, a music stage, give-aways, and lots of fun.
This community event features two screenings of The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney (1925) showcasing music on the 1925 Saenger Pipe Organ at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to experience what it was like to watch a movie at the Saenger before "talking" movies. Tickets are free, and can be claimed at the Box Office in advance or at the door while supplies last.
Our Birthday Street Party is free to the public and suitable for all ages.
