For the fourth year, the Macon-Bibb County Parks & Recreation Department is holding its Summer Movie Series at parks around the community. The final movie in this year’s series, ‘The 5th Wave,’ will be shown Friday, August 12 in Rosa Parks Square in Downtown. Portions of ‘The 5th Wave’ were filmed in Macon-Bibb, one of a series of movies that have chosen Downtown and surrounding areas as specific locations. Other movies and shows filmed here include ‘Trouble With The Curve,’ ’42,’ ‘Need For Speed,’ and ‘Brockmire.’
 
Movies will begin once the sun sets that evening, and families can bring chairs, blankets, and coolers of food and drink. Parks & Recreation will have free popcorn and snow cones for people to enjoy. In the event of rain or other bad weather, movies will be cancelled.
 
Previous movies shown have been ‘Home,’ ‘Ali,’ ‘Zootopia,’ and ‘Inside Out,’ and they have been shown at Sandy Beach Park, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, and Tattnall Square Park.
