Cañon City's Hollywood Connection
As part of the City of Cañon City's 150th Anniversary celebration, we're delighted to announce the theme for the 2022 event: "We Are All Made of Stars: Spotlight on Our Past"
We invite our attendees to embrace our region's history by wearing vintage formal attire. As always, the event is black tie. Women are expected to wear evening gowns, and men are expected to wear tuxedoes or formal suits. Through our decor and entertainment, we'll be shining a light on our region's Hollywood history:
The 1920’s silent film industry found its way to the region as filmmakers capitalized on the area’s scenic beauty and mild climate. After a renaissance of filming in the 1940s, Cañon City came to provide the location for over 40 motion pictures, including “The Cowboys” (1970) starring John Waye, “Lightning Jack” (1994) starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beverly D'Angelo, and “Our Souls at Night” (2017) starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.
The community will host a number of celebratory Sesquicentennial events throughout the year, along with First Friday events each month. Follow the website for more information on how you can participate.
