Summer Family Film Festival In Bastrop

Sinking into a theater chair with popcorn and the a/c blasting while it’s 95 degrees with 90% humidity outside is heavenly. Movie theaters provide a perfect low-key summertime experience, and Bastrop’s very own Film Alley has something special for families who are looking to go out to the movies more this summer.  

Film Alley in Bastrop is offering $.50 movie tickets to a 10 AM showing of a family film every Tuesday this summer. The promotion is called the Family Film Festival, and it runs from June 4th- August 13th, 2022. You can also get popcorn and a drink for $3.50 at the festival showings. 

All proceeds from the Family Film Festival go to the local non-profit Down Home Ranch, which specializes in empowering the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through social, educational, residential, and vocational opportunities.

There’s no reason to not bring the kids out to see some of their favorite movies this summer, especially knowing that all proceeds go to such a worthy cause in our community. Let’s take a look at some of the titles playing the rest of this summer at the festival.

If you’re looking to make an entire air-conditioned day out of it, then Film Alley can provide. Not only are they showing $.50 movies during the festival, but they also offer 16 bowling lanes, a 50+ game arcade, pool tables, a full bar, and a full grill menu. If someone’s having a birthday or you’re planning a bigger event, Film Alley also offers birthday and corporate events.
