Expanded Summer Events

Main Street Toccoa will be adding some extra events to this summer’s line up of movies and concerts.

Each Thursday night during the months of June and July, movies have been shown in the Schaefer Center. The two remaining movies in July are The Hunger Games (rated PG-13) on July 17 and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (rated PG-13) on July 24.

Since the summer’s first movie “Frozen” was sold out, Main Street Toccoa will be showing an encore presentation of the movie on August 7. According to Sharon Crosby, Special Events Coordinator, “We realize that this is the night for Open House at our elementary schools, but we hope that families will come after they go and visit the schools. It will be a fun way to close off the summer.” Admission is $1.00 for each of the movies and concessions are also $1.00. Doors will open at 6:15.

Thanks to a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Ida Cox Music Series will be extended for two additional weeks. The country band, The Trey Ward Band, will perform on August 2 and the beach band, Still Cruzin, will perform on August 9.The concerts begin at 7:00 p.m. and are free.
