Independent films and live music take center stage during the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival

Bay City turns the spotlight onto independent films and live music during the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival later this month.

The 18th annual festival is celebrated from Thurs., Sept. 26 through Sun., Sept. 29.

The festival schedule is online now, so you can make a plan to see as many of the films and hear as many of the bands as possible. 

All Access and Film passes also are available now. Options range from passes that get you into every event, including opening night, to one-day passes that get you into every film showing on a specific day. You also can become a member of the festival, earning discounts on merchandise and entry into some special events.

The 2024 festival begins with an Opening Reception on Thurs., Sept. 26 at the Bay City Players.

The schedule varies each day. Click here for the full festival schedule, the music schedule, and a guide to the films.
