Outdoor Movie Series

This year, the 2013 Kennesaw Outdoor Movie Series continues with a trio of family friendly flicks at Swift-Cantrell Park in Kennesaw. The inflatable screen lights up at dark, so arrive early (around 6pm) for games, activities, inflatable fun, and more.

Admission is free, but concessions and some activities have an extra charge. Bring your blanket or lawn chair and a picnic (no alcohol or glass containers) and relax “on the green” for an outdoor movie night the whole family will enjoy. All movies are rated PG, and titles are subject to change. Cancellations may occur due to weather conditions.

The event on Saturday, June 1, 2013 will feature water-themed activities starting at 6 p.m., as the sun-soaked “shores” of the park become a watery playground of splishing, splashing, slipping and sliding fun. Activities will feature both free and pay-to-play inflatable slides, field games and attractions. After the sun goes down, set sail for a fun-filled pirate adventure with a screening of The Pirates! Band of Misfits. The 2012 stop-motion animated adventure comedy follows the Pirate Captain and his crew of amateur pirates as they attempt to win the Pirate of the Year competition. The movie is rated PG, and features the voices of Hugh Grant and Jeremy Piven.

Children participating in water activities should arrive dressed to get wet. An extra change of clothing, towel and dry shoes is recommended. Restrooms will be available; showers and changing rooms are not.
