Communities First, Inc. is once again hosting its popular Movie Under the Stars series, which will feature five different outdoor movies throughout the summer. The organization will show family friendly movies on a 30 foot movie screen, preceded by a pre-party that has games, activities and snacks. The series offers the community a chance to come together for safe, free fun in various locations throughout the city. Movies Under the Stars draws attendees from Flint and surrounding areas, as well as Detroit, Ann Arbor and Saginaw.
This year’s lineup is as follows:
June 24 - Little Giants, Atwood Stadium
July 8 - Rio 2, Flint City Hall - Back Lawn
July 22 - Inside Out, Flint City Hall - Back Lawn
August 12 - Zootopia, Applewood Estate
August 20 (Saturday) - Cars, Flint City Hall - Back Lawn
Attendees of the movie on June 24 are invited to wear their favorite team jersey and participate in a variety of football drills and athletic challenges. Seating will be in the stands, so no lawn chairs are needed and no coolers are allowed.
For all movies, the festivities begin at 7:30pm and the movies begin at dusk. Attendees should be sure to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the movie, except for the June 24th event at Atwood Stadium.
