Free outdoor family movie nights are back at The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens on the third Friday of each month June through September, this time with an exciting new twist. Each screening will be part of a themed evening experience, featuring pre-movie fun which might include trivia, games, live music, sing-alongs and interactive audience activities.
On July 18 we’ll be screening the 1964 Bond movie, “Goldfinger,” sponsored by William Ravies Lifestyle Realty. In this film, the powerful tycoon Auric Goldfinger has initiated Operation Grand Slam, a cataclysmic scheme to raid Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. James Bond, armed with his specially equipped Aston Martin, must stop the plan by overcoming several outrageous adversaries.
Movie rolls at dusk. Check our website, Instagram or Facebook accounts for any changes or updates.
