Summer in the City serves thousands from surrounding neighborhoods each year.
The Palace Theatre’s Summer in the City Movie Series, presented by Broadview Federal Credit Union will again offer eight free, family-friendly movies to children and families from neighborhoods around the Palace in downtown Albany, with targeted outreach to low-income and underserved families in the City. The movie series provides children with the opportunity to enjoy the excitement and beauty of the historic Palace Theatre, while offering fun, safe and positive opportunities to become engaged in the arts. For this series, the theatre opens one hour prior to showtime for fun & educational activities.
Summer in the City is part of the Palace Theatre’s Community Engagement Initiative and is one of several free and low-cost arts and educational programs offered by the Palace that positively impacts local children and families each year.
For each show, doors open at Noon with educational activities provided by Whitney Young Health Center, Ten Broeck Mansion and other local partnering organizations. Movies begin at 1 p.m. Free popcorn is provided to all children 12 and under. For the Summer in the City finale on Tuesday, August 29 - immediately following the screening of Minions: The Rise of Gru - the Palace will host a special Ice Cream Social, with activities, giveaways and Free Ice Cream courtesy of Stewart's Shops.
