Movies & Music in the Park 2018 @ Parfet Park
Aug 3 @ 7:00 pm

A Wrinkle in Time with music by Thunder & RainThe first four Fridays of August will feature family-friendly movies and music for free in Parfet Park. Earlier this spring, we opened a poll allowing folks to vote on one of the movies to be screened this year. A total of 525 votes came in and the winner was… A Wrinkle in Time! You asked for it, so that’s what we’re kicking the season off with, along with the music of Thunder & Rain, a 5-piece acoustic americana band consisting of acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, fiddle and upright bass.

Each week, the bands begin performing at 7 p.m. and the featured movie will start rolling at dusk, generally around 8:30 p.m. The movies are shown on a giant inflatable screen under the stars.

Bring blankets or low-slung chairs, and make yourself comfortable! If you need to sit up high in a regular height chair, however, please be courteous of those sitting on the ground, and keep to the edges of the crowd. Come early and bring a picnic dinner, or enjoy food and drinks from local vendors. A number of vendors will be on site to offer tasty selections including tacos, ice cream and sodas. Then, of course, save room, because what’s a movie without hot, buttery popcorn?

Dogs are welcome, just keep them on a leash. And please leave your adult beverages at home – this is an alcohol- and tobacco-free event. Regular park rules apply.

See our Movies & Music in the Park page for a full line-up of coming attractions this August!
