Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will present the first celebration for the new Dallas location and a free outdoor screening of the John Hughes classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The event will take place in the parking lot adjacent to Cedars Social, just down the road from the future home of Alamo Drafthouse Dallas. Gates open at 5 pm and the film rolls directly following the informal, non-ceremonial groundbreaking at sundown.

Food trucks will be on site, as will local beers from Dallas’ own Deep Ellum Brewing Company. Select wines will also be available. This event is BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) and is friendly for both two-legged and four-legged kiddos.
