Esquimalt is once again hosting free movie nights under the stars and this year they will all be in Bullen Park.
“Last year we did a roving program, we went to different parks, this year they will all be in Bullen Park,” said Vicki Klyne, Community Services Programmer for the Township. “It’s more consistent for people and Bullen Park is a central location.”
Bring your friends out to the park and enjoy an amazing movie experience on a huge outdoor movie screen. Movies will be held every second Wednesday beginning tonight (July 8) to Sept. 2 and will start at dusk (approximately 9:45 p.m.)
Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and settle in to watch all your favourite classic films.
“The Esquimalt Lions Club will be running a concession each movie night,” said Klyne. Concession proceeds support the Lions’ fundraising efforts towards a splash park in Esquimalt.
All movies are weather permitting as the screen cannot be used in rain or high winds. In the event of questionable weather, notice of cancellation will be posted by 4 p.m. on the Township’s website, esquimalt.ca.
Viewer’s choice voting to pick the final film shown on Sept. 2 is now online at esquimalt.ca with voting available until noon on Aug. 21. Viewer’s choice films include Jurassic Park, American Graffiti and Disney’s Cinderella (2015).
Tonight’s feature is the Lego Movie (G). An ordinary Lego construction worker, thought to be the prophesied ‘Special’, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis.
On July 22, see Jumanji (PG). When two kids find and play a magical board game, they release a man trapped for decades in it and a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game. Aug. 5 is TBA and on Aug. 19, the 1984 hit Ghostbusters, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as three eccentric parapsychologists in New York City who start a ghost-catching business. Admission is free.
