The Home Depot Backyard’s Piedmont Healthcare Summer Movie Series will kick off on June 17, with a Juneteenth celebration.

“Entertainment for this year’s Juneteenth celebration at The Home Depot Backyard will be headlined by a prime time showing on center lawn of ‘The Wiz.’ Immediately following the movie screening will be a laser light show, which will be projected on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium façade and feature special Juneteenth-inspired visuals and music,” the venue announced in a press release.
