Augusta Regional Airport will become an open-air theater this Friday, Nov. 13. The airport in Augusta, Ga., is hosting a free Family Movie Night, with gates opening at five o’clock and the film starting two hours later.
There is no admission charge, though guests may drop a donation at the entrance for FireK, a volunteer-led local group offering cash assistance and cancer screening help to firefighters and families facing the disease. The airport picked a film that ties in with the cause.
Capacity is limited, so each guest needs a reserved ticket ahead of time. None will be sold at the entrance, and the airport says only people with reservations will be admitted. Free tickets are available on the airport’s website, FlyAGS.com, or on the Ticketleap registration page for the event.
The viewing area sits in a secure part of the airport, so bags can be searched on the way in. Families are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or a blanket, and concession vendors will be on hand selling food.
Airport director Herbert Judon called the night a chance for families to see the airport in an unusual light while backing a local cause, and he said the airport looks forward to welcoming neighbors.
Donations to FireK can also be made online through the nonprofit’s website, firekfivek.com. Families planning to attend should reserve early because space is limited, and arrive when gates open to settle in well before the show.
Anyone who cannot get a reservation should not count on getting in at the door, since the airport has made clear that no tickets will be handed out there. Guests should also plan for the bag check when they arrive.
