Come to a Free Screening of The Princess Bride on Aug 23rd!
It's ✨INCONCEIVABLE✨, but on Aug 23rd, The Kawartha Art Gallery, with support from the City of Kawartha Lakes and Parks Canada, is presenting their third free outdoor film screening on Aug 23rd - and this time, the film is The Princess Bride!
Moviegoers of all ages are invited to Fenelon Falls’ Lock 34 bring their own chairs or blankets, dress for the weather, and plan to arrive by 8:30pm. Bring cash, as snacks including sno cones, cotton candy, and popcorn will be available for purchase on-site from Ben’s Kettle Corn, with cans of pop and chips available with a small donation to the Kawartha Art Gallery.
Want to win some rad retro candy? Wear your best medieval fantasy costume/props, or quote favourite lines from the film, and you could win some sweet retro candy.
Summer Movies on the Locks is a safe and fun Tuesday night activity for families, couples, or anyone looking for an outdoor evening experience with a touch of summertime nostalgia. Through support and sponsorship from the City of Kawartha Lakes and Parks Canada, as well as a partnership with Audio Plus Multimedia Solutions Inc., the Kawartha Art Gallery is proud to present this free community event on two sites along the world-renowned Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site.
By inviting audiences to view these popular films in public spaces like parks and historic sites, the Kawartha Art Gallery hopes to highlight the value of community events as part of the local creative economy and cultural tourism in the region.
Here are the next screenings that are part of Summer Movies on the Locks:
Aug 30 - Bobcaygeon Lock 32 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Prize Activity: best back to school fashion or share a story of school shenanigans that did or could have gotten a trip to the principal's office
