I put a spell on you… and now you're coming to our "Hocus Pocus" (1993, PG) screening! This Saturday, October 17, we're rolling out our Movie in the Park with the Sanderson Sisters leading the charge.

Pack your blankets, round up your fellow witches, and prepare for a night of nostalgic magic. The movie starts at dusk (around 5 p.m.), and we'll have concessions available so you can munch while you watch Max, Dani, and Binx save Salem from some seriously wicked witches. It's the perfect excuse to don your Halloween costumes early or just show up in your comfiest fall flannel. Either way, we'll see you there!

Saturday, October 17
Dusk, around 5 p.m.
Free to attend; no registration required. Concessions available for purchase
