Pack a picnic dinner, grab a blanket and head over to Kiwanis Park to watch family friendly flicks under the stars this fall.

Tempe’s free movie series, Movies in the Park, is back on Friday nights this October. Plus, don't miss a special Family Boo Bash event and movie screening on Oct. 23.

Movies begin at dusk, approximately 6:30 p.m., on the north soccer fields at Kiwanis Park, Baseline Road and Ash Avenue (just west of Mill Avenue).

Come early to reserve your spot and hang out with the Tempe Play Mobile for fun pre-movie activities. Plus, check out the nearby renovated and expanded playground. Enjoy live music from Casey Ryan and grab a snow cone from Ice Ice Baby.

Movies in the Park is sponsored by Tempe Diablos Charities. Find more family events and activities at tempe.gov/FamilyFun.
