CLARKSVILLE, TN – Clarksville Parks & Recreation has announced the return of Movies in the Park, presented by Kyrstin Frate of Keller Williams Realty. The popular event series is set to feature a movie each month at dusk from May through September.
Last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each event was held at Liberty Park. This year, the event will include Heritage Park once again in its lineup.
Kali Mayes, event planning specialist with Clarksville Parks & Recreation, said this season is primed to be one of the best.
“Movies in the Park was one of the events we were able to offer safely in 2020,” Mayes said. “We’re excited this year the event will return to multiple locations and even more normalcy with pre-show activities, food trucks, and more. We encourage everyone to follow our Facebook event page for the most up to date information about Movies in the Park.”
