Reels on Wheels: February Movie Series Announced

ATLANTA – February 1, 2021 – Celebrate some of the most notable days of February in Buckhead. In partnership with the Buckhead Village District, Livable Buckhead presents Reels on Wheels, a February edition of the popular drive-in movie series that was launched in December.

On February 13th, 14th, and 20th, order a meal from partnering restaurants Shake Shack, Fado or Biltong Bar, then enjoy a special screening in our parking lot turned cinema. Tickets for each event are $35 per vehicle with a $5 discount for Livable Buckhead members, and there will be front row seats reserved for those who bike or walk at the price of $10 per person. If you arrive in an electric vehicle, you’ll receive a complimentary Livable Buckhead Community Partner Individual Membership.

“Our ‘Sleigh-In’ movie series was a hit in December, so we decided to bring it back and give our community an additional bit of fun,” said Anna Sharp, community engagement manager. “These drive-in movies are a great way to get out of the house in in a safe, socially distant environment.”

Galentine’s Day, Feb. 13th

Originally starting as a celebration of Lesley Knope’s girlfriends from the hit TV show “Parks and Rec,” Galentine’s Day has now evolved into its own kind of holiday. Whether you have Valentine’s plans or not, all gals can find something to celebrate on Valentine’s Day Eve with their best group of girlfriends.

The Galentine’s Day celebration starts at 7 p.m. with live performances by comedians Katie Hughes and Kiana Dancie. The evening continues with an 8 p.m. showing of “Mean Girls,” the hilarious story of formerly homeschooled Cady Heron trying to make her way through public school and getting involved with “the plastics” – the meanest girls around.

Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14th

If you are looking for a unique way to spend this Valentine’s Day, look no further. Spend time with the person you love while getting dinner delivered to your car, laughing together, and making memories.

Valentine’s Day festivities begin with live performances by comedians Kourtlyn Wiggins and Lace Larrabee at 7 p.m. The evening continues with an 8 p.m. showing of “Hitch,” a romantic comedy following a “date doctor” as he tries to teach men how to woo the women of their dreams. Unfortunately, he comes to realize that his methods don’t always work.

Black History Celebration, Feb. 20th

On Saturday, February 20th, Livable Buckhead invites you to celebrate Black History Month with a double feature that is suitable for the whole family.

The line-up begins at 7 p.m. with Hidden Figures, a movie that was filmed primarily in Atlanta. This movie tells the remarkable story of African-American female mathematicians who worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the space race. Next up is Black Panther, which follows T’Challa as he is crowned king of Wakanda following his father’s death. He soon finds himself challenged by Killmonger who plans to abandon the country’s isolationist policies and begin a global revolution.

Reels on Wheels takes place at 309 Buckhead Avenue NE in the Buckhead Village District. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit https://livablebuckhead.com/movie/.
