Waterfront Movie: Happy Feet

Come see 'Happy Feet' on the water front in Newburyport with your family.

What could be better than a free movie viewed outside at Waterfront Park on a warm summer night? In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica, you're nobody unless you can sing - which is unfortunate for Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune...tap dancing.

Free Movies at Lynch Park: Jumanji

Kids and families are invited to Lynch Park for a free showing of Jumanji!
Enjoy a free showing of popular family oriented films at Lynch Park in Beverly! Four high school kids discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game's jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars they chose. What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji - you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, they'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves - or they'll be stuck in the game forever.
