Ring in the Fourth of July holiday weekend on Catalina Island with
fireworks and two special events: a six-hour music festival on July 4,
and the 50th anniversary screening of the Beatles’ film “A Hard Day’s Night” on July 6.
The events, sponsored by the Catalina Island Museum, will be held at the Casino, Avalon’s iconic circular theater.
The six-hour Fourth of July Music Festival will kick off at 4 p.m.
Friday at Casino Point and will feature the American sounds of Cajun and
zydeco, with fireworks planned for a break in the show at 9 p.m.
“Live
musical entertainment is a huge part of Avalon’s rich history and
culture,” said Michael De Marsche, the museum’s executive director. “The
museum is proud to continue this long-lasting tradition.”
The Beatles’ film, which
debuted a half a century ago, will be screened at 7 p.m. July 6 at the
Casino Theatre. Immediately after it, Pattie Boyd, formerly married to
Beatle George Harrison and singer Eric Clapton, will share memories of
acting in the film, where she met Harrison on the set.
Pattie Boyd, then a popular model in London, was hired to play a small role in the movie.
Audience
members will have a question and answer period with Boyd, whose book
“Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Me” was on the New
York Times bestseller list in 2007.
Tickets: $8, museum members; $10, general admission. Info: (310) 510-2414.
