- Spend Thursday nights at the movies downtown -
Movies by Moonlight returns to HemisFair Park

The big screen will once again light up downtown’s HemisFair Park as the City’s Downtown Operations Department kicks off the outdoor cinema series Movies by Moonlight on Thursday, June 4.

“Last year we had an over whelming response to Movies by Moonlight from the public and we are delighted to bring back this family-time favorite,” said Paula X. Stallcup, director of Downtown Operations. “There is no better place to be this June than in HemisFair Park watching movies under the moonlight.”

The free movies will be shown every Thursday throughout the month of June in the grassy area under the HemisFair Park arch and the Magik theater building at S. Alamo and Nueva. Show time begins at 7:30 p.m. with a pre-show featuring old-time cartoons followed by a brief intermission and the feature film beginning at 8:30 p.m. The feature time and schedule may vary due to the length of the movie. The June movie schedule is as follows:

• June 4   – Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
• June 11 – Madagascar
• June 18 – Kung Fu Panda
• June 25 – Ratatouille

Grab your blankets and lawn chairs and come out to enjoy the show. Concessions will be available selling favorite movie treats such as popcorn, soda and cotton candy. Movie-goers can park for free at the Alamo Street Lot near the HemisFair Park and across from the Federal Courthouse at the Durango Street lots after 6:00 p.m. on a first-come basis.
