Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park features Movies under the stars!
Have you ever seen a movie or television show where couples and families gather under the stars to watch movies on a big screen? I've always thought that was the coolest thing ever and thought that this would be a great thing to do on a hot summer night. I mean really – how romantic is that? A blanket, a nice breeze, a cooler of snacks and drinks (don't forget drinking in public is against the law though!) – how could it get any better than that.
Movie night outdoors is a great way to spend some time with your family, too if the right movie is playing and now, you can partake in movie night at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg. Every Friday night from August 3 – 24 you and your family or you and a loved one can enjoy the stars and the cinema on the Lyric Lawn in Assiniboine Park.
There is an Early Feature at 7:00 PM so that you do not have to keep the little ones out too late and there is a Late Feature at 9:15 PM for those who have older children or for those who just want a more romantic environment.
