The Stars of Napoleon Dynamite Are Coming to Southeast Minnesota
It's always cool when celebrities are spotted in our area. Most recently, David Arquette was around the area filming a movie.
A few years ago, Gerard Butler was spotted checking out local spots around Rochester, and Hugh Jackman was seen playing pickleball. And with Mayo Clinic, many other big names have likely visited SE Minnesota without anyone even noticing. The stars of Napoleon Dynamite will be the next celebrity spotting everyone is talking about.
Whether you can recite every line by heart or want to introduce the family to the awkward magic of Idaho's favorite high schooler, you're not going to want to miss the chance to hang with the cast of Napoleon Dynamite.
Napoleon Dynamite Live in Austin, Minnesota
One of the most quotable cult classics in cinema history is coming to southeast Minnesota, for an unforgettable night of high-energy nostalgia. This special event starts with a screening of Napoleon Dynamite, but the magic starts when the credits start rolling
After the movie, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Efren Ramirez (Pedro), and Jon Gries (Uncle Rico), will take the stage, but instead of a traditional sit-down Q&A, guests will be treated to an interactive party.
Fans can expect a mix of comedy improv with game show elements, audience participation, and behind-the-scenes stories straight from the stars of the movie.
Want to snap a picture with the stars or ask Uncle Rico if he can actually throw a football over those mountains? A limited number of VIP Meet & Greet add-on tickets are available for purchase and will get you into a special event before the screening.
