Final event showcases great local performers and artists along with a popular Disney movie

This summer the City of Sparks and the Sparks Museum and Cultural Center brought residents “Last Friday on Victorian Square,” the last Friday of the month from May to September. The final event is Sept. 28.

Participants can visit downtown Victorian Square and experience the amenities — the Sparks Heritage Museum and gallery, train display and Glendale Schoolhouse — for free with docents available for tours. Local and regional art will be on display in the Cultural Center and outside on the sidewalks. Also included is entertainment in the Amphitheatre and Great Basin Stage. The evening is capped with a free movie.

This month’s performers are the Maytan Community Band, a group of seasoned citizen musicians performing Big Band, Marches, and Broadway medleys. This compliments the movie “Up,” about a senior citizen, a boy scout and a dog on a great adventure. “It’s a great time to grab the grandkids and have a lovely evening of history, music, art, and a movie,” says Francine Burge, Special Events Supervisor for the City of Sparks. “From 6 to 86, this is perfect night for all ages,” she added.
