Movies at Grandon will return to Central Memorial Park this summer with five scheduled movie nights. They will be held on Tuesday evenings, beginning on Tuesday, June 12, 2018, and on every other Tuesday through Tuesday, August 7.
Sterling Main Street has partnered with Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA, who will provide fun activities for the kids, before the movies begin at 7:30 p.m. The activities will vary each week and have fun themes tying into each movie.
We kick off the season in grand style on Tuesday, June 12, with lots of fun, free, family-friendly activities beginning at 6:00 p.m. It features Move B4 the Movies with the Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA, the WQPT Explorers, and Midwest Activities Productions.
The line-up for this year is:
- June 12, “Despicable Me 3”
- June 26, “The Lion King”
- July 10, “Lego Ninjago”
- July 24, “Coco”
- August 7, “Peter Rabitt.”
Face-painting will also be available. Various community non-profits will provide concessions each night, including popcorn, beverages, and other sweet treats. The movies will begin at dusk. In the case of bad weather, announcements regarding location changes will be posted to our website and media on the day of the films.
Midwest Activities Productions will hold their Ribbon Cutting with the Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce at 7:45. They will showcase just a few of the more than 40 activities they offer, including a 12-foot-tall Velcro dartboard, a 9-hole putt-putt golf course–complete with spinning windmill–and “human bumper balls.” Come early to enjoy the festivities, and a fun family night out.
