The last showing of the Fremont Outdoor Movies this season, with a 21 and over screening of "Animal House," will kick of the annual Fremont Oktoberfest, which runs Sept. 18 through 20.
The Fremont Outdoor Movies will host the Fremont Oktoberfest pre-party with an "Animal House" Toga Party closing the outdoor movie season, Saturday, Sept. 12 at dusk.
Watch as the hard partying, beer guzzling Delta’s take on the Omega’s and administration at Faber College in the 1978 classic comedy.
“It’s the perfect outdoor movie to hoot and hollar at while drinking a beer outdoors in Fremont,” said Fremont Outdoor Movie Coordinator Ryan Reiter. “We salute great flicks that compliment our audience and weekly theme. We can’t think of a better way to kick off the Fremont Oktoberfest than to get in the drinking spirit and relive your glory days.”
There will be pre-show games and activities that keep with the fraternity and Oktoberfest themes, from toga style photo sessions to college party games. Winners of the games and photo contest are given prizes that include a chance to win tickets to the Fremont Oktoberfest.
An extended beer garden allows movie goers to drink along with the big screen fraternity mates.
“The enduring appeal that makes 'Animal House' popular is the myth that more beer makes stupidity more heroic,” said Reiter. “It may not, but it certainly makes it more enjoyable.”
The Fremont Outdoor Movie Theater is located in the lot at the corner of North 35th Street and Phinney Avenue North. Find that same spot one week later and you’ll be at the center of the beer universe when Fremont Oktoberfest kicks off at 5 p.m., Sept. 18 to 20.
The "Animal House" viewing is for those 21 and over only. Official ID is required.
