Every year, the Fox Theatre pays homage to its history as a movie palace with its annual Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival! The 2024 Film Festival will host an array of anniversary titles starting at $12 (plus applicable fees) over the course of three days at the end of August. Joining previously announced films, “The Little Mermaid, Sing-along” “Bohemian Rhapsody Sing-along,” “Casablanca,” and “West Side Story,” “The Breakfast Club” will now join the festival as their leading movie on Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now at foxtheatre.org or by calling 855-285-8499.

The Marquee Club presented by Lexus is accessible with purchase of Marquee Club Level seats located in the front balcony (Loge) section of the theatre and are sold for $45, plus applicable fees. Marquee Club access includes early, private entry, locally sourced food from film-inspired menus; adult and kid-friendly movie-themed beverages for purchase; private bars and rooftop access.

As in previous years, Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival will showcase films on its impressive 26-by-56-foot screen. Patrons will enjoy movies under the Fox Theatre's distinctive blue sky with twinkling stars and fluffy clouds. For all showings, guests will have the opportunity to attend a magical pre-show experience, which will include a sing-along with a vintage cartoon. While “Mighty Mo” organ will not be visible this year, guests will still hear sounds from the world-renowned instrument played by Ken Double.
