Looking for some fun and free ways to enjoy the summer, the great outdoors, and socialize with friends?
Then bring your lawn chairs, or enjoy from your car, a classic movie under the stars for FREE!
Once a month, DT Unity Community Ent. in partnership with The Community Voice will bring you a free classic movie under the stars at Wichita’s McAdams Park, along 13th Street.
The series kicks off on Sat., May 17, with the 2002 movie “Undercover Brother.”
But these special outings are more than just a movie, they’re a social gathering. Come early for socialization.
DJ Don will be there starting at 5 p.m., providing the sounds. Bring your dominoes, cards, cornhole or other games.
Hungry? Bring your own food or purchase food from a food truck onsite. Grilling will be allowed, but we ask that all grilling stop by 7 p.m., to clear the smoke ahead of the movie.
Movie time begins at 8 p.m. and just like the AMC, we’ll have a warmup before the movie. Enjoy videos from classic concerts by some of your favorite performers. The main attraction will begin at 8:30 p.m.
“The event is free, we just ask you to come out and have a good time, and pick up your trash,” says DJ Don, the man behind the events.
Last summer, Don would spin sounds in the park on Saturday evenings, but after Frankie Beverly of Maze died, he decided to show a Maze concert on the screen instead of just playing the group’s songs. The event was a big hit.
That led to this summer series, with a social gathering and movie once a month through September. The Saturday dates are: June 4, July 12, Aug. 9, and Sept. 20.
“We’re developing themes for the upcoming months,” says Don. “Definitely next month will be a Father’s Day event. We’re encouraging children to bring their fathers out for this event, the night before Father’s Day.”
“There’s definitely going to be a ‘Boots on the Ground’-themed night, so get ready,” Don says. ”We’ll be promoting upcoming movies and themes in The Community Voice. Thank you to Bonita and her team, who have generously agreed to partner with us on this free community summer series.”
