City to Host Drive-In Concert & Drive-In Movies

Today, Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin announced the City will host drive-in movies and a drive-in concert throughout the summer. The City will partner with WQBE and Electric 102.7 to host three outdoor drive-in movies. Moses Auto Group will sponsor an outdoor drive-in concert in June. All events will take place in the parking lot of Big Lots on Patrick Street and are free.

“The City has been working diligently to provide fun summer activities for folks that want to get out of the house safely. We have been in touch with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department about how to offer socially distant programming opportunities,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “We are excited to work with WQBE, Electric 102.7, Moses Auto Group and many others, including local philanthropist and businesswoman with White Properties Karen Haddad, to provide folks with safe, entertaining, memorable experiences.”

“With so many summer entertainment events being cancelled or postponed, this is a chance to have a fun night out with the family done in a safe way,” said Jeff Jeffreys, WQBE.

“Moses Auto Group and the Moses Family love the idea of continuing our summer music tradition with the City of Charleston. Making new memories at the Drive-In Concert with the families and friends that continue to support our business is the epitome of our commitment to reinvest in our community,” said Jeremy Nelson, Moses Auto Group
