Backstage Rialto Festival of Frights

Backstage Rialto Presents a Day of the Dead Tequila Tasting and Ghost Tours in 4th Annual Festival of Frights!

Backstage Rialto, a 501(c)3 support organization for the Rialto Theater Center in Loveland, Colorado, presents “Festival of Frights” on October 28 and November 4.  The Halloween-timed festival will include spooky historic tours of the Rialto Theater, and a Day of the Dead-themed Tequila Tasting! The events serve as a fundraiser for Backstage Rialto, with proceeds supporting programming efforts such as the Backstage Rialto Children’s Theatre and vital technology upgrades to the Rialto Theater Center.

The history tours, titled Ghost Tales: Historic Rialto Tours” brings to light some of the unexplained happenings during the last 103 years, which includes plenty of spooky and macabre tales of real events from the theater’s history. The tour also gives participants behind-the-scenes access to the nooks and crannies of Lovelands premier film and performing arts venue that are not normally accessible to the public.

Jim Doherty, Chairman of the Backstage Rialto board said, “The Ghost Tales Historic Rialto Tours will also appeal to anyone that appreciates our local history.  Festival of Frights is a great way to support our beautiful Rialto Theater, as all net proceeds will go towards improving The Rialto experience.”

The Tequila Tasting will take place in the Rialto Theater’s Devereaux room. Tickets are required and include a generous sampling of tequila, a guided tasting from a tequila expert, small bites, and one hell of a good time! Guests are strongly encouraged to don Day of the Dead costumes and attend this spooktacular event!
