Attention movie buffs and 80s enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for a night of retro charm as East Passyunk Avenue hosts a special outdoor screening of the beloved 80s classic film “Mannequin.” Mannequin Movie Night promises a delightful evening under the stars at Mifflin Triangle on Friday, July 19th, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The iconic movie “Mannequin”, well-known for its entertaining tale set against the backdrop of Downtown Philly and featuring the talented duo of Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy, is a perfect nod to the city. I recall watching the film in my youth and being enthralled by seeing Philadelphia on the big screen (the same feelings of nostalgia are evoked with Stallone’s Rocky). To this day, watching the movie takes me back to that remarkable decade. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet Emmy, the actual mannequin from the movie, and capture a timeless selfie with her, courtesy of South Fellini.
The excitement doesn’t end with the screening! Following the movie, get ready to groove to the rhythm of the 80s with an electrifying dance party. For those seeking refreshment, Pistolas del Sur will be on hand to offer a range of libations, from margaritas and craft beer to water and soda. Remember to bring your own chair for optimal comfort during this cinematic extravaganza amidst nature’s beauty.
Mannequin Movie Night is free for all to enjoy and is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors, including Samuels Seafood Company, Jeff Gottesman’s State Farm, and South Fellini. Additionally, attendees can indulge in nostalgia by purchasing exclusive Mannequin-themed merchandise courtesy of South Fellini.
