The Ciclismo Classico
BIKE TRAVEL FILM FESTIVAL
COMING TO DANBURY’S PALACE THEATRE
What’s better than pedaling a fully loaded bicycle up a steep mountain pass in the rain? Watching someone else do it!
On Friday June 17, The Palace Danbury will present the Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival, showcasing the best bike travel films by professional and amateur filmmakers from around the world.
Now in it’s 7th year, this is the first year Cicilismo will travel to Connecticut. The Festival is the ONLY one in the USA to feature films specifically about two-wheeled travel, and it has gained a huge following over the years.
There’s something for everyone at this year’s festival, and you don’t need to be a cyclist to enjoy these tales of adventure! The festival goes all over the world in search of interesting journeys – from from Cuba to Spain to Germany and beyond, The Palace Danbury is proud to present this one of a kind event.
In addition to the films, there will be plenty of door prizes and giveaways plus the opportunity to meet and mingle with members of the cycling community, local bike shops, armchair adventurers, and independent film fans.
The festival is a production of Ciclismo Classico. For more than 20 years Ciclismo Travel has been sharing their passion for immersive bicycle tours across Italy, France, Spain, Austria, and New England. Their Bike Across France tour was recently honored as a National Geographic Traveler “Tour of a Lifetime.”
The Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival, a Hearst Media Film Club selection, will take place on Friday, June 17 starting at 8:00 PM. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 the night of the the show. Tickets may be ordered by phone at 203 794-9944, online at www.thepalacedanbury.com, or purchased at the door starting at 7:00 PM.
