Celebrating Old Ensley: Jazz Party & Movie Screening

Come early for the party, stay for the film! 🎷🎬✨

On Friday, September 26, The Flourish Alabama is partnering with All the Way Entertainment and Periwinkle Productions for an evening of community, education, and celebration of Ensley and its rich history.

We’re bringing live jazz straight out of Tuxedo Junction’s legacy, dancing, food, and a screening of Tuxedo Junction: The Almost Lost Story - a documentary that uncovers how our very own Ensley, Alabama, became a birthplace of jazz legends and Motown icons.

*Zoot suits and party dresses are optional. Best dressed wins a prize!

Info: We’ll be sharing a special screening of Tuxedo Junction: The Almost Lost Story. This documentary sheds light on the nearly forgotten history of Ensley’s vibrant and lively Tuxedo Junction - once a hub where Black joy, jazz, and community thrived.
