See the stars under the stars at free community events each month through the summer

The much-anticipated 3rd Annual Movie Under the Stars event is set to take place next Friday, June 14th held at the new amphitheater at Beaver Creek Park.

This community event is a collaborative effort between the Barren County Family YMCA, the Glasgow Parks and Recreation Department, Nemak, and the Kiwanis Club.

The event, which promises an evening of family-friendly entertainment, will feature Kung-Fu Panda 4 screened under the open sky. The movie will begin at dark, providing a perfect opportunity for families and friends to gather and enjoy a summer night out.

Next Friday is just the start of the Movie under the Stars season as a movie will be screened each month through August. Director of Parks and Rec. Eddie Furlong, spoke on this season’s movie schedule.

One of the highlights of this event is that it is completely free of charge. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Rural King will be generously donating free popcorn for all attendees. CEO of the Barren County YMCA, Tara Bailey, also spoke to WCLU about the thought process behind this series of events.

While organizers have been working tirelessly to ensure that this year’s Movie Under the Stars is memorable for all who attend, the work to put it on is split between the organizations, with each providing something as Furlong explained.

Families are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and their loved ones to enjoy a relaxing night of cinema under the stars.
