Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

Grab your blankets, lawn chairs, family, and friends and join an another exciting season of Movies in the Parks! This free summer tradition brings family-friendly films to parks throughout Allegheny County, offering a fun evening of entertainment under the stars. 

Guests are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy interactive activities beginning at 7 pm, with each movie starting at dusk (typically between 8:50 and 9:15 pm).
