Free Screening: Breaking Away

Join us for a rare big-screen presentation of Breaking Away, the 1979 cult classic coming-of-age comedy-drama in a beautiful Main Street Art Deco movie house – generously sponsored by Covered Bridge Electric Bike.

This special event will feature film-inspired concessions from Ilse Coffee including their locally roasted coffee and decaf, as well as Phony Negroni and Amaro Falso! Covered Bridge Electric Bike will also be bringing some of their newest models to help fuel your summer riding dreams!

Breaking Away follows a group of working-class Indiana teens who take on their privileged, preppy University student counterparts in a bike race to settle matters of pride and courtship. Ranked as one of the top ten sports films of all time by AFI, this screening will help usher in the summer cycling season in Northwest CT!
