A Few Seats Left for Sunday’s A Night At The Oscars Watch Party
Feb 9 come walk the red carpet in style during a fun- and food-filled Academy Awards event at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse
For the second year in a row, a red carpet will be rolled out for movie lovers at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse’s A Night At The Oscars viewing party.
All proceeds earned from the event, which is set for Sunday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m., will benefit the AFLAC Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The Springs, recently redesigned and renovated, is located at 5920 Roswell Road, Suite C-103, in Sandy Springs, in the back of Parkside Shopping Center.
The Academy Awards viewing party is one of many special events held at the neighborhood landmark. On Oscar’s big night, as ticket holders make their way to luxury heated recliners in the theater’s two largest auditoriums, they can pose for star-worthy photos on the red carpet.

The Springs, December’s winner of Atlanta Magazine’s Best Refresh of a Beloved Movie Theater award, is the former Lefont theater. New owner Brandt Gully upgraded the space with a $2.5 million renovation including – among many cutting-edge enhancements – a bar and restaurant. In fact, some of the only traces of the theater’s venerable past are intentional: In addition to current blockbusters, Gully kept the Lefont’s rotation of treasured classic movies and independent art-house films.
As was the case in 2019, the Academy Awards party will be the first of many film industry events at the theater this year. A busy schedule of screenings, premieres and cast parties are on tap throughout 2020.
