Seaside’s Labor Day Weekend celebration is complete with outdoor movies, a farmers market and special concert, plus a new event featuring major college football games on the big screen. These free, family-friendly events all occur at the Seaside Amphitheater and are open to all.

On Friday, Sept. 2: bring the kids out to the Seaside Amphitheater for Central Square Cinema for the third film in this award winning Disney series. The movie features the voices of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and was nominated for five Academy Awards in 2011. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs out to grab your spot on the lawn as we kick off the holiday weekend with this great movie starting at 8 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 3: The Seaside Farmers Market gets things started as this weekly market brings together some of the region’s best local produce, baked goods, dairy products, native plants, homemade soaps, fresh honey, and many other great selections. The market takes place in the Seaside Amphitheater, behind Raw & Juicy, every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information and updates on the Seaside Farmers Market, find us on Facebook.

Saturday, Sept. 3: The fun continues on, with a special concert featuring Birmingham native Ryan Kinder at 6 p.m. Ryan and his band are a group of musicians known for their bright harmonies, foot tapping rhythms, and Hendrix-esque guitar playing. Ryan is a 23-year-old University of Alabama student, already has two albums under his belt with a third scheduled for release in the Fall. In addition to playing with his band, Ryan is also a songwriter with Bigger Picture Records and collaborates weekly with Nashville-based musicians on multiple projects. Ryan's guitar prowess coupled with his songwriter's heart creates a powerful live performance that leaves fans downloading his music as soon as they have a chance. Ryan brings his talented band to the Seaside Amphitheater to help us celebrate the end of the summer season with music that will make you dance for forget all about school and work.

Sunday, Sept. 4: The Labor Day Weekend comes to a close with a second installment of our fantastic Central Square Cinema at 8 p.m. On Sunday we’ll screen another new Disney hit that is loosely based on the classic fairy tale “Rapunzel.” The film was nominated for two Golden Globe awards for Best Animated Film and Best Original Song, which was sung by one of the movie’s stars. Head down to the Amphitheater with a picnic dinner from one of our many restaurants and enjoy this feature film on the big screen under the stars.

Saturdays in September continue to provide ample opportunity for fun in Seaside with the continuation of the Seaside Farmers Market, held each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition, Seaside is kicking off a new event geared towards those who love the pigskin.

Join your friends and neighbors along 30A for Seaside Tailgate! Featuring some of the country’s biggest college football games on the giant 35-foot inflatable screen in the Seaside Amphitheater. Games will be screened on Saturdays, Sept. 10, 17 and 24, and will begin at sunset. The specific games will be chosen the week of the event and will be added to the Seaside Facebook page, as well as our website.

Fans of the SEC, ACC and other conferences will have the opportunity to “tailgate” with the Seaside Merchants and then head into the Amphitheater to cheer on their teams to victory. Whether you say “Roll Tide,” “War Eagle,” “Geaux Tigers,” or anything else, Seaside is the best place to catch the big game on the biggest screen.

All events are made possible by the arts and entertainment fee collected by The Merchants of Seaside. Seaside offers free parking to our guests around Central Square, Quincy Circle and Smolian Circle.

Thanks Gwen!

"Whether you say “Roll Tide,” “War Eagle,” “Geaux Tigers,” or anything else"
Hmmmm someone forgot what state we're in. :lol:
 
Yeah, they forgot "Go Gators" and "Go Noles." :lol:

Someone who works in Seaside told us about the tailgates. We all were wondering how will that work? Are people allowed to bring their own food or even cook grill their own food? Are they allowed to BYOB? That's what happens at tailgates. If that is allowed, won't it negatively affect the restaurant and bar business in Seaside?

Since there's only one game that can be shown, it will be interesting to see which games are picked. Let's see, I just looked on espn.com at game schedules. With sunset at about 7 CST, would that mean Northwestern State vs LSU on 9/10, North TX at Alabama on 9/17, Mizzou vs OK on 9/24? Many of the teams that are popular around here (Florida, FSU, Auburn, etc.) don't have games scheduled to start around sunset. Maybe that's for the best. We might get too rowdy. :lol:

I bet there is a certain bar owner in Seaside who can't wait to lay on the lawn and watch football amongst the coolers and picnic foods.
