Youth Connection: Watch Movies Among the Stars!

It is time to bring your lawn chairs, sleeping bags, and blankets with your family, friends, and neighbors to experience a unique and enjoyable way to watch movies, starting in the beginning of July to the end of August. Every year, the Bellevue Parks and Community Services team up with their sponsor Intelius to provide the community with the latest popular family movies at the Bellevue Downtown Park. Soon you will get the chance to watch outdoor movie on a 40-foot inflatable screen with a projector and high quality sound system every Tuesday.

All the movies begin at 9 pm. Everyone who comes can enjoy a free movie with popcorn and drinks. Before the movies begin, there are also entertaining pre-movie activities such as scavenger hunts and contests.

In addition, this event supports a charity every week. Therefore, it is suggested that everyone brings a donation of any amount to the event.

This event shows from July 5 to August 23 this year. Come join us!
