Music Meets Movies in Foley

Foley, Ala. – (OBA) – Residents of Foley and its surrounding areas are in for a treat this spring with the kick-off of the highly anticipated "Music and a Movie" series. The city will transform its open spaces into a hub of cultural festivity on select Fridays, starting this week and continuing through the end of May.

The series begins with the Jason Abel Project setting the musical scene on April 19, alongside an interactive balloon artist for added family fun. As night falls, the evening will transition to a screening of the new "Wonka" movie.

Continuing the entertainment, April 26 will see the Doc Johnson Band taking the stage. The evening's activities will include bounce houses, followed by a showing of the 2023 remake of the classic "The Little Mermaid".

On May 17, the MidLife Crisis band will entertain attendees, coupled with the return of the ever-popular bounce houses. In a nostalgic nod, the evening's movie will be the iconic "Jaws". Organizers issue a gentle reminder that the film's thrilling content might warrant viewer discretion.

The penultimate event on May 24 presents music by Justin Colvard, another appearance by the balloon artist, and the Disney-Pixar movie "Elemental" will light up the screen.

The series concludes on May 31 with the Chitlin Switch ensemble setting the musical backdrop. The festivities will once again include bounce houses, and the final movie to be showcased is "Paw Patrol: Mighty Movie", ensuring the series ends on a high note for its younger fans.

Each "Music and a Movie" night will begin with the live music at 6 PM, followed by the movie screening at dusk. The events are free to the public, underscoring Foley's commitment to accessible community engagement.
