The days of piling into a car and riding to the drive-in theater have dwindled, but the desire to gather in front of a big screen beneath the stars is alive and well. Thanks to the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce, the experience is, too.
Flicks in the Park began in 2012 and the annual tradition is still going strong. On July 13, the community will gather once again to enjoy Wonder Woman on the big screen.
Wonder Woman explores the journey of Diana, a princess and Amazonian warrior from Themyscira, or Paradise Island. When a pilot crashes on her shore, Diana discovers there’s conflict in the outside world and takes it upon herself to uncover her true destiny. This award-winning superhero film is sure to delight viewers of all ages.
The outdoor movie theater will be staged inside historic Pioneer Park, just two blocks from downtown Ferndale. The park’s 100-year-old cedar trees add a certain ambiance to the event. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends and have a great time.
Flicks in the Park is free to attend. Before the movie starts, there are even free hot dogs while supplies last. And don’t forget to get your movie fix – ice cream and candy will be on sale at the nearby “General Store.”
“I really love the energy and the community [at Flicks in the Park],” says Audrey Audette, Ferndale Chamber of Commerce event and program coordinator. “It’s a perfect place to see your neighbors and friends, and creates such a great sense of community. We have hotdogs and popcorn and the Ferndale Parks Department puts on some field games as well.”
Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to set up your squad’s patch of grass. Then break out the snacks and enjoy the night. The kids can run wild and dance the night away. It’s okay – you’re outside.
There’s something special about hundreds of people gathering under the night sky to enjoy an experience. The laughter is richer. The hero’s battles are harder. The desire to cheer cannot be contained. Mark your calendars for July 13, and get ready for a one-of-a-kind summer experience. Gates will open at 8:30 p.m. and the movie will begin at dusk.
