Grab a blanket, meet up with friends and family, and get out for an evening under the stars at Parkside community movie nights! Each date will focus on a different West Fairmount Park partner and will start with an interactive activity, provided by that partner, followed by a family-friendly movie.

Each movie will relate to the mission/work of the partnering organization. A local food truck will also be on hand each night, serving up tasty fare. Movies will take place at the John Welsh Memorial Fountain across the street from the Please Touch Museum.
