Free Friday Night Movies Return to Downtown

Downtown Development is proud to announce its fifth season of "Free Friday Night Movies Downtown". These currently released movies are offered free of charge to the public, outside every Friday in June July and August at dusk.

Free Friday Night Movies will move to a new viewing location this year to accommodate the expanding need for parking Downtown on Friday evenings. We will be showing movies on the south wall of the Downtown Development office, in the middle of the 400 block of Walnut St. This lot is located directly to the west of the new office construction on the corner of Walnut and Charles St.

For the last four years, Downtown Development has been able to offer these movies with the help of several community partnerships. Each week a different not-for-profit organization acts as our volunteer group for set-up and tear down, as well as concession sales. Any profit that is generated from concession sales is shared between Downtown Development and that evening's contributing organization. With this arrangement, fourteen not-for-profit groups benefit from the effort and Downtown Development is able to capture the production assistance we need to make the movies happen each week.

When available, we will provide approximately one hour of live entertainment prior to show time from a variety of local volunteer entertainers. In the past we have featured bellydancers, squaredancers, bands, variety acts and more.

If your not for profit organization or entertainment group would like to volunteer for Free Friday Night Movies, please contact Cheryl Crowder at (765) 282-7897.
