It’s that time of year again... The 20th Annual Blobfest gets underway on July 12th. Join The Colonial Theatre for a weekend of ‘50s film nostalgia, scifi and kitsch! They are celebrating with their annual Friday Night Run Out, and Saturday Streetfair from 11AM-5PM, and double features all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

RUN OUT
The Run Out promises to be more oozy fun with EXTRA offerings for you! This year we’ve got reserved seating so you may choose your seats ahead of time. In addition, there will be special Premium Seating on the back aisles, so you can be among the first to Run Out!
BLOB BALL
Following the Run Out Friday night, at 9PM, we will be joined by the Blob Ball, presented by LuLu Boutique & Gifterie. Tickets for the Ball may be purchased separately HERE (tickets are not sold at the theatre or through the theatre’s website).
STREET FAIR
The Saturday Street Fair is growing like the Blob! This year we will have even more vendors and outside hijinks. Guests include Mr. Lobo, Dixie Dellamorto, Dash Daring, Donald David, and Cinema Sickness. In addition to the block of Bridge Street between Main Street and Gay Street, vendors will also be on Main Street between Bridge Street and Church Street.
DOUBLE FEATURES
This year we are bringing you the great Forbidden Planet and Teenagers from Outer Space. There will be 3 screenings Saturday: 12PM, 4PM, and 8PM. Seating for double features is general admission.
SPECIAL GUESTS
These guests will be inside the Colonial in the Garden Suite from 11AM-5PM Saturday.
PARKING / DROP OFF
Phoenixville is a small historic town and as such, parking is at a premium; however, there are still lots of choices! We highly recommend that our patrons park in a nearby shopping center and Uber or Lyft into town (for drop off, please use Parking Lot #3, across from 1 North Main Street) . In addition to the borough’s usual offerings, patrons may also park in the Holy Ghost Orthodox Church parking lot (corner of Bridge and Starr Streets) for a fee Friday (starting at 5PM) and Saturday (starting at 9:30AM); or in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot (across the street from the church) for an offering.
