Denver Parks and Recreation announces its 2010 summer movies

DENVER, CO ­- May 17, 2010 - Bring the whole family out to see some of the brightest stars, both on the screen and in the sky, at one of the Blockbuster Movies in the Parks. For the 5^th year, Denver Parks and Recreation will host, along with our sponsors, 11 movies in park locations across the City.

Movies in the Parks are always family-friendly and fun-filled entertainment. These G-, PG- and PG -13 rated films start at sunset with plenty of pre-movie opportunities to play, meet the neighbors and enjoy free popcorn, snow cones and cotton candy. Other concessions also will be available for purchase.

With inflatable screens over 24-feet wide and a high-quality sound system, these unique movie-going experiences are enjoyable for everyone. Visitors are encouraged to bring blankets or low-seating lawn chairs to enhance their viewing experience.

The June 26 showing of The Twilight Saga: New Moon at Sloan’s Lake Park will feature a state-of-the-art 40-foot-screen, thanks to a generous sponsorship from Summit Entertainment.

Sponsors of the 2010 Movies in the Park are Denver Community Credit Union and Downtown Denver Business Improvement District and Summit Entertainment. Download flyer here.
