For each movie, doors open at noon, giving families a chance to enjoy crafts, activities, giveaways, and other fun before the movie begins at 1 p.m.

The Palace says free tickets can be picked up at the Palace Theatre Box Office or reserved online in advance.

With free admission, free popcorn for kids, and a lineup packed with family favorites, it's a great way to spend a summer afternoon in downtown Albany.
