🎬🍿 Our Neighbors In New Castle - Community Group members voted… AND WE HAVE OUR WINNER!

Out of the 4 movie choices, the community officially picked…

ZOOTOPIA 2! 🦊🐰

We are SO excited to kick off our Movies in the Park series at Cascade Park with one of the most anticipated family movies of the year! We will have The Farmers Table, Nina's Italian Ice, Signature Stacks Pancake Co., and Kim's Ice Cream coming to serve dinner, snacks, popcorn, and treats so come hungry!

Free Movie In The Park (1 of 6) is planned to be in the grass by the stage for the full summer movie-night experience 🌙✨If weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move everything inside the dance hall so the show still goes on no matter what!

Parking will be in the main lot. If you are handicapped or need additional assistance, please meet our volunteers at the lower entrance.

Thank you to everyone who voted, commented, and shared our post. Please continue to do so! This is exactly the kind of fun, community-driven energy we want our events to bring to New Castle!
