ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Formally
know as "Movies in the Park - Cumming", the event is an outdoor family-friendly
festival that takes place over two days at the Cumming Fairgrounds in Cumming, GA.
(Previously held at Central Park). The outdoor
movies themselves will remain free.
The series is the brain-child of Southern Outdoor
Cinema's owner, Paul Murray, who was looking for free events to do
with his wife and two daughters during the summer time.
"Great affordable family-friendly events are hard to find
these days. Southern Outdoor Cinema is changing that” says
Murray
. “Come out with
friends and family, lay out a blanket, share a picnic, sit back and
watch your kids participate in pre-movie activities and listen to music
playing in the background as the sun sets over the park
Then enjoy an outstanding show under the stars as the smell of
freshly popped popcorn wafts through the air.
A large inflatable movie screen with high definition projection and
crystal clear sound is used to present the movies.
Each event starts a
7 p.m.
with the movie beginning at dusk.
Come out early to enjoy delicious food items from food vendors
and pre-movie activities such as face
painting, give-a-ways, children's activities and many
large inflatables including moonwalk, slides, and obstacle courses.
The events are sponsored by local area companies
and organizations, with the top supporters including
Northside
Hospital
Forsyth
and Southern
Outdoor Cinema. Sponsorship
opportunities are available
