Frequently Asked Questions

North Canaan has plenty of free parking available. In addition to street parking, there is a large municipal lot just north of us on Railroad Street (take a left after Ilse). Additionally, we have a small parking lot located just south of the building. Only the parking parallel to our building is ours; the rest of the lot is private residential parking. There is also limited public parking directly across the street in between Industry Kitchen & Bar and Birdie's.

As a general rule, outside food and drink are prohibited for public events. Concessions are available for purchase on-site. Every once in a while a specific event will be BYOB — if that is the case, it will be noted on the event page and ticket. Our free community showings are never BYOB and outside food and drink are not allowed.

No, we do not currently have a liquor license. We hope to have one in the future.

We sell concessions during all of our public movies. This includes popcorn, candy, and soft drinks. Some events have additional food options which is always listed in the event details. If you have questions about a particular event, please send us an email at info@canaancolonial.com

Thank you so much! As you can imagine, caring for a one hundred-year-old building comes with a long list of expenses. We would be extremely grateful if you wanted to support our building maintenance fund for much-needed repairs and restorations. If you would like to support our programing at a higher level, please consider purchasing a movie sponsorships package to allow us to offer a free showing to the community.
