Plan a Family Fun Fest series highlighting a new hands-on learning theme each time – like kindness, fitness, or multiculturalism! Make sure to include activities that will entertain the entire family, including live music, face painting, and a family-friendly flick!

Transform the park into a superhero wonderland for an action-packed movie night. Offer superhero-themed snacks and organize interactive games or trivia related to the film, like a superhero training obstacle course.

Take families back in time with a nostalgic movie night featuring beloved classic films. Set up a large outdoor screen and invite families to bring picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and their favorite picnic foods. Enhance the ambiance with retro-themed decorations and encourage attendees to dress in vintage attire. Provide popcorn, candy, and drinks reminiscent of the olden days. Consider hosting a costume contest or a trivia game about classic films.

“We bring yard games, field games, and other fun outdoor play onto the field. Additionally, we have plenty of space for families to bring balls and gloves, walk the track, and just generally spend time together before the movie.”

“Our marketing department used Swank’s ‘Promo toolkit’ to create posters to distribute at our other Spring and Summer events/programs. The poster is also displayed at community boards around town: park bulletin boards, grocery store, library, local gyms, etc. Plus, we created a Facebook event.”

“For our summer movie series ‘Movies on Lane,’ we close off the street for family activities before the movie starts at sunset. For our ‘Sing 2’ screening, we hosted a community talent show and dance party.”
