Aurora Picture Show partners with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership and Houston area Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations for this rare film screening.

 Willie Nelson's 4th of July Celebration flashes back to an open-air affair in College Station, Texas, in 1974. This extremely rare documentary, available only on 35mm and never commercially released, was shot over the course of three summer days and nights at Willie Nelson’s 2nd annual 4th of July bash. Drunken performers, crazy antics and heartbreakingly good music meld to create an incandescent record of a moment in American musical history. Artists like Waylon Jennings, Wolfman Jack, Leon Russell, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and many more musicians appear as part of this Willie Nelson concert film.

Musical performance from Andrew Karnavas before the film. Film print courtesy of American Genre Film Archives. Music curated by SugarHill Studios.
