The Movie in the Park event drew large, enthusiastic crowds over the Labour Day Weekend. The Downtown BRZ has sponsored movies in Galt Gardens Park for the past four summers. Movies in the park continues to be popular with families from Lethbridge and throughout southern Alberta. Over 800 people took in the shows over the two evenings. Even the brief rain on Saturday didn't discourage event attendees.
The classic Spielberg hit, 'Jurassic Park', was shown on Friday, while the Pixar/Disney summer blockbuster 'UP' was featured on Saturday. The Movie in the Park crew brought in some exciting pre-show entertainment that included a local fire spinner troupe, magic show, hoola-hoop contest and a WII Guitar Hero tent.
This free, community event definitely helps to showcase all that beautiful Galt Gardens has to offer. The Rotary Centennial Plaza was in full operation and the colorful water display attracted a lot of attention during both evenings. The BRZ offered up tasty and affordable 50 cent bags of popcorn that were sold out of the newly constructed pergola food servery area.
Many thanks go out to local media and City of Lethbridge staff for their promotion and assistance in making the event such a huge success.
The Labour Day Weekend Movies in the Park event was a smash hit and we're looking forward to the next showing during the Bright Lights Festival and Midnight Madness event on November 20, 2009.
