River City Opry Returns to the Arlee
Central Illinois-based group to play in Mason City September 14

[September 07, 2023] 

On Thursday, September 14 the River City Opry will reclaim the stage at Mason City's Arlee Theater.

Based out of Havana, this incredibly talented local group specializes in country music but also plays 50s rock and a variety of other styles, and looks forward to seeing attendees make good use of the Arlee's recently refinished dance floor.

They can be expected to play on the second Thursday of every month through December. The show begins at 6:30pm, with doors opening at 5:45, and this month's theme is Country Oldies.

Concessions will be available, and tickets are $10 at the door (ages 12 and under are free).

Early arrivals in town are encouraged to patronize any of the town's locally-owned eateries, including Subway, Mason City IGA, Do Drop Inn Cafe, and Smokey's Bar & Grill. It is also worth noting stores "Sweet Creek & Co" (128 S. Tonica), "Mason City Overstock Outlet" (118 E. Elm), Junior's General Store (153 E Chestnut), Sixteen&Vine (158 N. Tonica), Vintage Restorations (109 W. Elm) and Reign & Bros Baby & Toddler Clothing (128 S. Tonica) are all within a block or two of the theater and offer unique shopping opportunities at reasonable prices, and are typically open Thursday afternoons/evenings.

Additionally, early arrivals in town may wish to visit the free exhibits at City Hall from 4-6 p.m. Area farm, family, business, school and more history-keepsakes can be enjoyed upstairs and downstairs in the exhibits housed right next door to the Arlee.

For any additional information, please use the Arlee’s “contact us” form at www.arleetheater.com or leave a message at 214-482-9999.
