FREE Family Fun This Saturday in the Village!

Movies On Main features Shrek Forever After Saturday, May 28.

If you're a parent, you know it's TOUGH these days to find fun things to do with the family that don't cost a fortune! Well, here comes Stone Mountain Village to the rescue! 

This Saturday, May 28, Main Street Stone Mountain is hosting the first of six free outdoor summer movies, to play on a 36' screen on the lawn in the heart of historic downtown Stone Mountain Village.  It's our MOVIES ON MAIN event, and Shrek Forever After is the movie being featured this weekend -- a favorite of all ages! Main Street Stone Mountain, Comcast and SunTrust are name sponsors of this great event, which also has the support of many of the village's businesses and restaurants.

The event takes place after the city-wide yard sale. There will be a couple of food vendors with snacks available for sale, but we encourage you to come to the village early, stroll our downtown streets and have dinner in one of our wonderful restaurants. There are lots to choose from!
