The Noblesville Parks Department invites residents to go into the woods and underground and visit The Capitol, gridiron and other creative lands during the 2015 Movies in the Park Series. Beginning with a double feature on Saturday, August 29, the annual film series provides free screenings and enjoyment for the entire family.

“The Movies in the Park Series has been an ongoing tradition in Noblesville for a number of years. Attendees can enjoy family friendly movies, bring a blanket, their dinner or snacks and enjoy an evening of cinema at Noblesville’s beautiful and historic Forest Park or Downtown Square,” Noblesville Assistant Parks Director Mike Hoffmeister said.

The movies will begin at dusk at Forest Park’s Shelter #1 (unless otherwise noted) and will be projected on a 30-foot inflatable movie screen. Light concessions will be available for purchase.
