The Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, usually known as a live performance venue, will be showing cinema starting on Saturday, August 13, with the film “Encanto” with two showings at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.  The following Saturday, August 20, will feature “The Fifth Element” in honor of the film’s 25th Anniversary. 

Before the screenings of “Encanto” attendees will have a chance to sing songs from the movie in karaoke style written by Lin-Manuel Mirando, whose works include the soundtrack to the musical “Hamilton”.

Assistant Director at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center Solomon Davis is excited for the events and shares some plans for celebrating the 25th Anniversary of The Fifth Element,”We’re going to do a variety of sort of fun things. We’re going to do like a race for the stones, kind of like a scavenger hunt where people between 5 p.m – 6 p.m., so there’s an hour to accomplish their mission can go around the town of Fairfield trying to find the elemental stones. Then at 6 will have a costume party with a photo booth and some mocktails and will also have a bar open for folks as well.”

“Encanto” is value priced at $3 per ticket. Tickets for “The Fifth Element” will be $8 per person with a buy one get one free ticket if you show up in costume. For more information click here.
