Cinematic Evenings: “Family Flicks” Brings Big-Screen Magic to Bridgeway Station

The local evening skyline is getting a cinematic glow this spring as Bridgeway Station hosts its popular “Family Flicks on the Big Screen” series. Transforming the central plaza into an open-air theater, the event has quickly become a midweek staple for families in Mauldin and Simpsonville.

The series, which began earlier this spring, offers free screenings of beloved animated classics and family favorites, providing a community-centered way to enjoy the warmer evening temperatures.

Classic Entertainment in a Modern Plaza

The April lineup kicked off with the holiday-appropriate Hop, followed by a high-energy screening of Monsters, Inc. on April 8. The events are designed with families in mind, starting at 6:00 PM to ensure even the youngest moviegoers can enjoy the show before bedtime.

Diners from nearby establishments like Rôtie by Stella’s and the City Market have been spotted grabbing “to-go” bites to enjoy during the films, utilizing the development’s ample outdoor seating and walkable spaces.

Event Logistics for Families

Organizers encourage attendees to bring their own comfort to the plaza to make the most of the experience:

• Seating: While some seating is available, guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for the best view of the big screen.

• Cost: The screenings are free and open to the public.

• Arrival: With movies starting at 6:00 PM, arriving early is recommended to secure a prime spot in the plaza and grab snacks from local vendors.

Continuing the Spring Momentum

The Family Flicks series is just one part of a busy spring calendar at Bridgeway Station. As the movie series winds down for the month, the energy shifts toward other community milestones, including the grand opening of the BridgeWay Farmer’s Market on April 23 and the massive Chirp Family Festival on April 26.

Whether you’re there for the nostalgia of a Pixar classic or simply to enjoy a night out with the kids, Family Flicks stands as a testament to Bridgeway Station’s goal of becoming the “living room” of the Golden Strip.
