On
July 28, 1995, punk band Circle Jerks were scheduled to perform at The
Huntridge Theatre, but when they showed up to the venue they found the roof
collapsed. They had nowhere else to be, so they set up their equipment in the
parking lot and played for the fans in attendance. The spirit of The Huntridge
and the bands that have performed, even in the parking lot, lives on as the
Save the Huntridge movement invites the community to engage that same heart and
soul and come out for a fundraiser unlike any other.
Live
bands such as HaleAmanO and Alaska will be performing, live art by Deadgirls
and Robots will take place and the valley’s best food trucks including Slidin’
Thru and Kona Ice will be onsite, with a portion of their proceeds going to the
Save the Huntridge Indiegogo campaign.
The
night will peak when the north facing side of the historical theatre will be
lit to show the promise and future of the venue.
