Chapel Hill's Locally Grown concert and movie series will present The Old Ceremony with Ryan Gustafson Thursday.

Gates open at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7 p.m.

Locally Grown is a summer-long series of free live concerts and movies on the Wallace Plaza, atop the Wallace Parking Deck at 150 E. Rosemary St. This summer's lineup includes nationally-known but locally-based music acts as well as documentary and feature films created by local authors and directors.

Details at www.locally-grown.com. Locally Grown is presented by the Town of Chapel Hill and the Downtown Partnership.

The Old Ceremony (TOC) draws water from a deep well of music ranging from the Beatles to Beck, Leadbelly to Led Zeppelin. After three highly acclaimed albums and six years of touring, the Chapel Hill band has built a large and loyal following. TOC has performed with CAKE, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Chuck Berry, Polyphonic Spree, Mountain Goats, and Avett Brothers, and was included in PASTE Magazine's "Top 100 Albums of 2006." TOC is led by songwriter/raconteur Django Haskins, and includes bassist Matt Brandau, drummer Dan Hall, vibes/organist Mark Simonsen, and violinist/keyboardist Gabriele Pelli.

Locally Grown concerts feature a beer garden offering hand-crafted beers along with a selection of wines, as well as food from some of Franklin Street's restaurants. The movies include documentary and feature films. The Varsity on Franklin Theater will offer concessions at all movie nights. Movies start at sundown.

The remaining Locally Grown Schedule features:

July 29 - The Old Ceremony with Ryan Gustafson (concert)

Aug. 5 - Babe (film)

Aug. 12 - The Goonies (film)

Aug. 19 - Fantastic Mr. Fox (film)

Aug. 26 - Lost in the Trees with The Physics of Meaning (concert)

The special event series supports efforts to promote the downtown community by encouraging people to come downtown and shop and eat at local businesses throughout the entire business district and enjoy local entertainment and activities summer evenings. Locally Grown is sponsored by 140 West, WCHL 1360, Local 506, Varsity on Franklin Theater, Town of Chapel Hill and the Downtown Partnership.
