FREE FLICKS
Film buffs rejoice, as the ever-popular Flicnics program returns to Palmerston offering free outdoor movie screenings this Dry!
WORDS TIERNEY WHITE
THIS SEASON'S LINE-UP of films has something for all, from fantasy flicks to animated movies for the kiddos. Everyone’s invited to roll out the picnic blankie, bring a bite to eat, and settle in for movie night, without breaking the bank.
City of Palmerston Mayor Athina Pascoe-Bell says there’s a swag of fun to be had in Palmo during the Dry.
“Our community events in Palmerston offer something for everyone – from free live music featuring local talent across all genres, to outdoor movies,” she says.
“Our events are a celebration of arts, culture, and connection, where families, friends, and even pets can come together to enjoy the best of the Dry season in Palmerston. Whether you’re laying out a picnic blanket, catching a film, or discovering a new favourite band, there’s no better way to experience the free events Palmerston has to offer.”
With free entertainment prior to screenings, and food trucks on hand if you want to embrace full maxo relaxo mode, it’s a sweet way to spend an eve with fam and friends.
There are two flicks to get around this month. In very exciting news, there’s the first drive-in movie cinema experience, with a screening of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the SWELL carpark in Moulden. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails are outmatched as they take on powerful new rival, Shadow – a mysterious villain with powers the trio haven’t encountered. Ooh.
Screening later in the month at Joan Fejo Park in Rosebery is The Garfield Movie, an animated comedy film based on the hit comic strip created by Jim Davis. After reuniting with his long-lost father, Garfield is forced to leave his perfectly pampered life to take part in a high-stakes heist. Exciting stuff.
Round up your crew and settle in on the picnic blanket or your own hot wheels, as you enjoy these sweet free movie sessions.
