Schedule:

08/19 The Sandlot (Movie)

Starting at sundown, come and enjoy a movie night in the park! It’s the early 1960s, and 5th-grader Scotty Smalls has just moved into town with his folks. Kids call him a dork–he can’t even throw a baseball! But that changes when the leader of the neighborhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field. It’s the beginning of a magical summer of baseball, wild adventures, first kisses and fearsome confrontations with the dreaded Beast and its owner who live behind the left field fence in this hilarious and warmhearted comedy. Rating: PG

08/26 Queen Legion – Tribute to Queen

Queen Legion is a four-piece matching period rock costumed Queen tribute band that performs a live 90-minute show of Queen’s library of greatest hits. They work hard to try and recreate a vintage Queen concert show format. The presentation is meant to be realistic, authentic, and reminiscent of an early arena rock show honoring and paying homage to Freddie Mercury, arguably one of the greatest lead performers, and the band Queen, who are unquestionably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. We hope you enjoy the show as you will hear them perform Queen’s timeless arena rock classics such as “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Somebody To Love,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are The Champions,” and many more.

09/02 Grease (Movie)

Starting at sundown, come and enjoy a movie night in the park! Grease is the one that you want! Go back to high school with Pink Lady Sandy (Olivia Newton-John), leader of the bad-boy T-Birds, Danny (John Travolta), and a rockin’ and rollin’ all-star cast. Rating: PG
