Aurora Picture Show partners with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, the Houston area Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations, and the Rolling Roadshow for this rare film screening, complete with outdoor 35mm film projection and picnic extravaganza.
Willie Nelson's 4th of July Celebration flashes back to an open-air affair in College Station, Texas, in 1974. This extremely rare documentary, available only on 35mm and never commercially released, was shot over the course of three summer days and nights at Willie Nelson’s 2nd annual 4th of July bash. Drunken performers, crazy antics and heartbreakingly good music meld to create an incandescent record of a moment in American musical history. Artists like Waylon Jennings, Wolfman Jack, Leon Russell, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and many more musicians appear as part of this Willie Nelson concert film.
Bring picnics or a few bucks for food from H-Town StrEATS, Banquet Depot, and Lonestar Novelty Ice Cream. Lawn chairs or picnic blankets also recommended to bring along.
