Free concert, movie Friday in downtown Monroe
A free concert, followed by a free outdoor movie, will take place Friday in downtown Monroe.
Local performer Lonnie Stump will sing from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 22 at Altrusa Park, 107 E. Front St., as part of the Finally Friday series offered by the city of Monroe's Parks and Recreation Department. Attendees should bring blankets or chairs.
Stump sings at area restaurants.
“He is basically a human jukebox with a large vocal range. He can pretty much play anything from Zeppelin to Cash,” Amy Mason, recreation programmer for the Parks and Recreation department, said.
After the concert, the classic movie “Casablanca” will be shown around 7:45 p.m. at St. Mary’s Park, 111 W. Elm Ave.
Attendees should bring chairs or blankets. The playground area and basketball and tennis courts will be closed during the movie. The movie also is sponsored by the Parks and Recreation department.
No food trucks have been scheduled for Friday.
"We do not have any food trucks scheduled at these events, but hope people stop in a downtown restaurant to eat or purchase an adult beverage from the Social District to bring into these events," Mason said.
