Arlee Theater Celebrates turning 90 with Red Carpet Gala
[September 19, 2026]
To celebrate 90 years of movies, the Arlee will be hosting a gala
on Saturday, October 17. Tickets must be purchased in advance for this
“formal attire optional” event. When guests arrive, they’ll be able to
walk the red carpet and pose for photos underneath the Arlee’s iconic
marquee, then head inside for light hors d’oeuvres, sparkling mocktails,
several spectacular raffles, and a showing of the 1936 romantic comedy
“Libeled Lady” starring Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy, and
Spencer Tracy.
Bringing balance to the glitz and glamour of the evening, there will be
a handful of attention-grabbing gift baskets and baked goods available
to win via raffles. Every attendee to the event will also be entered
into a special raffle, where they could win an overnight stay at Three
Pines in Petersburg, as well as a chocolate & wine gift basket and a few
other surprise goodies. Additional entries in this particular raffle, as
well as the others that night, will be available for sale during the
event from 6-7pm, with the raffles being drawn at 7pm and the movie to
follow.
Funds raised at this gala will go toward continuing the Arlee’s
restoration process, as well as offsetting rising costs to help keep
guest prices low. Tickets to the gala are now available at the Arlee as
well as through the Arlee’s website. Tickets are $35 each, or two for
$60.
