Bollywood at the Fox

Annual event brings the sights and sounds of India to downtown Tucson on Saturday, April 17; encore airing of PBS series 'The Story of India' begins April 12.

The annual Bollywood at the Fox event, presented by the Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation, features an authentic “Mela” street party on Congress Street in front of the historic Fox Tucson Theatre. The sights and sounds of Indian food, music and dancing combine to transport Mela attendees to India without ever leaving Tucson.

Guests will also experience an Indian film inside the Fox Tucson Theatre -- Tucson’s premiere entertainment venue and southwestern art deco movie palace -- before the evening is complete. Event proceeds will benefit children’s programming at the Fox Tucson Theatre. An event not to be missed!

More information on Bollywood at the Fox can be found on the Fox Theatre website.
