The Waukegan Park District will be hosting five free movies during the summer. Hosted at various parks and the Waukegan Municipal Beach, each movie on the lineup is family friendly. Popcorn will be provided while supplies last.
The Waukegan Park District’s Arts Park Program will host free arts and crafts before each movie. Participants will have the opportunity to create art, including drawings, paintings, crafts, mosaics, sculptures, and more. The Arts Park Program is supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
All movies will begin at approximately sunset. Attendees are encouraged to bring snacks, blankets, chairs, and picnic gear to enjoy the outdoor movies. In case of inclement weather, movies will be postponed to a rain date.
