Crown Center kicks off its WeekEnder series this Friday and will once again be showing outdoor movies after skipping that part of the program last summer due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The free, family-friendly outdoor entertainment series will feature a movie, live music, food and beverages each Friday evening in July starting at 6 p.m. It’s being billed as a “great way to wrap up the work week” in a press release.
Crown Center’s Burnt End BBQ will have a food and beverage tent, including adult drinks, on the plaza and there also will be several other food trucks each week. The movies generally start at about 9 p.m.
Those attending can bring a blanket and lawn chairs and there will be free parking after 6 p.m. in the Crown Center garages. Pets are not allowed and alcoholic beverages can’t be brought in.
This year’s movie and band lineup:
–July 9: The Greatest Showman (sing-along version) and The Suburbans.
–July 16: Rudy and County Road 5.
–July 23: Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Zeroes.
–July 30: The Princess Bride and The Accidental Moguls.
