St. Albans promotes Movies & Music, Mountaineer Main Street and Sept. fireworks with Nitro
Summary
The city announced a series of summer events including Movies & Music on Main (four dates through Aug. 29), Mountaineer Main Street on Aug. 22 and a joint fireworks display with Nitro, with logistics such as Main Street closures and a bridge closure for the fireworks.
Mayor Scott James and cohost Anthony Romeo used the City of St. Albans podcast to lay out a schedule of community events aimed at drawing visitors and supporting local businesses.
The hosts promoted a "Saint Albans Night" at the Dirty Birds ballpark at GoMart Park on Friday, July 24, urging residents to wear city apparel and watch the chamber'9s channels for ticket details. "It's a chance to showcase Saint Albans," Mayor Scott James said.
They also described Movies & Music on Main Street: live music at Joe Dobbs Square starting at 6 p.m., POTA from 5–8 p.m., and a family movie after dark (this week'9s film: How to Train Your Dragon). The series dates are July 25, Aug. 1, Aug. 15 and Aug. 29; Main Street will close in the late afternoon for setup. "Bring your chairs, your blankets," the mayor said.
Mountaineer Main Street is scheduled for Aug. 22 from 2–7 p.m.; organizers expect food trucks, former athletes, a local MC and a large crowd. The mayor encouraged volunteers and sponsors for school-related fan events tied to the season.
On public-safety logistics for the annual fireworks display run jointly with Nitro, Mayor James said the cities split the cost and the bridge will be closed from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. for viewing; fireworks were scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. and to run about 18–20 minutes. Organizers noted some date uncertainty in the discussion but indicated the show is planned around the early September weekend.
Why it matters: These events are designed to increase foot traffic for Main Street businesses and to foster community pride. Organizers asked residents to check the St. Albans Area Chamber and city web pages for ticketing and up-to-date logistics.
What happens next: Residents should look for updated details and any parking or closure notices on the city website and the Chamber's social channels.
