Chestertown Recreation Commission announces that this Friday September 4 concludes our season of family friendly films to be shown outdoors in downtown Chestertown with “Mr Peabody & Sherman”.

From Dreamworks Pictures, a new twist on an old animated favorite that is both nostalgic and brand new. Moms & Dads will feel like they have gone into the WABAC machine and remember the classic cartoons from their youth while kids get to meet a brand new Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his boy, Sherman as they use a time machine for outrageous adventures. But when Sherman takes the time machine without permission to impress his friend Penny, he accidentally rips a hole in the universe and causes havoc with world history. It’s up to Mr. Peabody to mount a rescue and prevent the past, present and future from being permanently altered. Starring Ty Burrell, Max Charles & Ariel Winter with cameos by Steven Colbert, Stanley Tucci, Mel Brooks and many more, our final movie under the stars will have something for everyone.

The movies will be shown at the Foot of High Street on the Custom House lawn.
All Shows start at dusk, (approximately 8pm) and are free to the public.

Bring blankets and lawn chairs, (low seated are preferred).
The CRC will be on hand most nights to offer popcorn.
Next up  we will have a  special Halloween showing of “Young Frankenstein“ on  October 24 following the 3rd Annual Great Pumpkin Patch in Downtown Chestertown. Rain dates will be the following Friday evenings.

Movies in the Park cranks it up to 1.21 Jigawatz this Friday July 24 with what many consider the greatest time travel movie of all in the history of time and space… Back to the Future!  A worldwide cultural phenomenon, the highest grossing film of 1985 was produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Robert Zemeckis. Starring Michael J. Fox as time-traveler Marty McFly,  and Christopher Lloyd as the zany Doc  Brown, (in a plot only plausible in the 80’s), we follow as Marty is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean to make sure his high-school-age parents find true love and invent rock & roll.

The Foot of High Street will be closed so any local classic car owners, (pre-1960) can cruise in to add some 1950’s drive-in ambience and there will even be a real Delorean time machine on hand to add to the experience.  Pre-show live rock and roll music from the 50’s and 60’s will entertain the early crowd.

The rest of the summer movies will continue with  Raiders of the Lost Ark on August 7; Fantastic Mr Fox on August 21; and just in time for back to school with Mr. Peabody & Sherman on Sept 4.

Shows start at dusk, (approximately 8:30) on the Custom House Lawn at the Foot of High Street at Water Street in Downtown Chestertown, and are free to the public.  Bring blankets and lawn chairs, (low seated are preferred). Rain dates will be the following Friday evenings.

Chestertown Recreation Commission announces that it will conclude its the season of family friendly films to be shown outdoors in downtown Chestertown with “The LEGO Movie”, this Friday September 5th.

The most contemporary film in the summer series released in 2014, this animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the chosen one and the key to saving his world. He is drafted into an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Starring the voice talents of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Charlie Day, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman, this film may have been marketed for kids, but has lots of fun for grown-ups too.

Children in attendance will have the opportunity to have their photos taken in giant LEGO costumes and select audience members will have the chance to win special LEGO play sets.

The movies will be shown at the Foot of High Street on the Custom House lawn. All Shows start at dusk, (approximately 8:15) and are free to the public.

Members of the CRC will be on hand to offer free popcorn courtesy Women in Need. Bring blankets and lawn chairs, (low seated are preferred).

Movie in the Park will return in October for a special Halloween showing of Ghostbusters. Rain date will be the following Friday evening.
