“Movies in the Park” summer series begins this week in downtown Sturgis.
A showing of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is featured at 7 p.m. June 10 on North Street, between U.S. 12 and John Street.
Presented by Sturgis Downtown Development Authority, this marks the third year of the seasonal outdoor showings, said Ryan Conrod, event coordinator. Prior to that, a few films were shown occasionally, but not on a consistent, monthly basis, from June to September, Conrod said,
Friday’s event also also includes a bounce house and food vendors, Conrod said. Concessions are available at Strand Theatre.
Those who attend are encouraged to take chairs or blankets for seating.
Movies are intended for all ages. Here is the lineup:
June 10: “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
July 15: “A League of Their Own.”
Aug. 12: “Oz: The Great and Powerful.”
Sept. 16: “Jurassic World.”
Those who attend may dress as a character in the movie being shown, Conrod said. Last year, that was popular during a showing of a "Harry Potter" film, he said.
“Movies in the Park” is presented by Sturgis Area Community Foundation.
Some “Movies in the Park” events will be paired with other attractions downtown, such as car cruise-ins. In July, “Movies in the Park” is being paired with a new event: "MI Art Fest."
