πŸŽ₯ Macaroni KID Monroe-West Monroe Exclusive! πŸŽ₯ Something reel exciting is coming to town... and it has a tail.

Families, hold onto your popcorn—because we’ve got the inside scoop on the Bayou Cove Drive-In Movie Theater, and trust us, it’s gonna be snappin’ good fun!

(Get the kids)πŸ‘€ First things first—you have to meet Fonteneuax! No, not your neighbor who grills the best ribs in the parish. We’re talking about a sports car-driving, movie-loving, fun-chasing gator with a dream bigger than all the bayous in Louisiana.

🐟 Picture it: Fonteneaux’s just chilling in the swamp, tail in the water, when he overhears two fishermen reminiscing about the good ol’ days of drive-in movie theaters and outdoor concerts. And BAM πŸ’‘—that gator had a vision. “Let’s bring it back,” he thought. “With style... and snacks!”

🌟 Now, Fonteneaux’s making it happen:

  • 🎠 A playground for the kiddos to bounce and giggle under the stars.
  • 🍿 Top-notch concessions (we hear the gator has impeccable taste).
  • 🎬 Not one, not two, but THREE movie screens so every family can find their perfect flick!
  • πŸ“² Easy online ticketing and parking reservations (no wrestling with car windows and cash).
  • 🎟️ A loyalty program that makes you feel like a VIP at The Cove.

Of course, we just had to trek through the swamp for a little visit with the gator himself. When we asked what the very first BIG movie night would be... let’s say it was a real MISSION to get the secret out. 😏 (Wink wink, parents—you’re going to love it.)

For updates on the late June opening, make sure to like their FaceBook Page: Bayou Cove Drive-In (Applications being taken soon)!

Bayou Cove Drive-In is about to roll film on a summer of unforgettable family fun! More Fonteneaux updates are coming soon—until then, keep your tail wagging and your popcorn poppin’! πŸΏπŸ’š
