The 2018 Summer Festival highlights include: an encore presentation of the amazing oil-animated feature film Loving Vincent, free cartoons at Riverfest, the Sundance Festival Short Film Tour, the sing-a-long version of the Beatles' animated feature Yellow Submarine, a London stage tribute to Richard Rodgers, Royal Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate from London's Theatre Royal, and two live comedy Monad Knock-Knock nights. After The Greatest Showman, all Summer Festival events will be held at The Park Theatre's River Street Theatre at 6 River Street.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre, including children's productions, concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new Park Theatre is scheduled for construction to begin in 2018.

The Park Theatre currently operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and cinema venue, located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England."
