Free outdoor movies at two Burlington parks this week

Family movies will continue under the stars this week at two parks in Burlington.

Tonight (Aug. 13), at Spencer Smith Park, it’s 50 First Dates starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler.

The story follows a marine veterinarian (Sandler) who falls in love with an art teacher (Barrymore). Unfortunately for the vet, the object of his affection has amnesia and forgets who he is every time she falls asleep…but he is determined to win her love again each day.

Brought to viewers by the Burlington Downtown Business Association (BDBA), the film is free to attend at Spencer Smith. The night also includes contests and games.

Then, on Thursday (Aug. 15) at Orchard Community Park. 2255 Sutton Drive, it is Ratatouille.

This 2007 animated film is set in Paris and follows the adventure of a young rat who dreams of becoming a chef at a fancy restaurant. Starring voices include Patton Oswalt and Brad Garrett.

This film is presented by the City of Burlington.

Both movies will begin when it starts to get dark.

Visitors to both parks should bring a chair or blanket to sit on.

If it rains the films will be cancelled.
