The Albertville Friendly City Days festival is here! My family loves when the carnival trucks roll into town because Friendly City Days is how we kick off summer. This year’s festival is taking place June 6–10, with five days of fun for all ages.
You can view the full event schedule here, but I’ve compiled a list below of the events that are especially suited to families with kids.
The Kids Summer Movie Series is returning to St. Michael Cinema this year, with $1 tickets for the whole family to great kids’ movies such as The Lorax, E.T., and Despicable Me.
The series runs June through August with mid-week showings for just $1 per person or $8 for the whole series. You’ll find the complete list of films and showtimes below.

This Friday from 6 to 8 p.m., the City of Albertville invites you and your family out for the evening to explore the local parks.
While you visit your favorite park—or maybe even check out a new one!—you’ll have the opportunity to visit with your neighbors, see city vehicles and equipment, and meet local community groups.
