The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we have some exciting news to announce!

We are excited to be bringing you our 13th annual Community Movie Night at the Lions Park! This event brings families and children of all ages together for a fun, appropriate, and safe evening of entertainment. During this free event, a movie is shown in the amphitheater and concessions provided by the Greenville Lioness Club. Traditionally, the movie is shown to movie goers sitting right in the amphitheater grass, but this year, things will look a little different! Our staff has worked diligently over the last few weeks to find a way to hold our annual event while still following CDC guidelines and keeping our audience safe.

This year’s Community Movie Night will be done as a drive-in movie! Vehicles will park in the large lot below the amphitheater and view the screen on the opposite side of our regular showings. This means that space may be limited, and will be done on a first come, first serve basis. Restrooms will still be available in The Barn, but the audience will otherwise be asked to stay in their vehicle while watching the movie. Sound will be broadcast to your vehicle’s radios and the Greenville Lioness will be delivering water and popcorn right to your window!

We simply could not bring this event to the community without the help of our local sponsors. While we are always thankful for our sponsors, we want to give them an extra thank you for supporting us and the community though these uncertain times. Thank you to Christus Lutheran Church, Wolf River Community Bank, The Bulk Food Shoppe, Kyle Lang Agency LLC, Mitch Ryan – Edward Jones, and Jeff’s Water Conditioning!
