In Clarington on Wednesdays in August, watch Movies Under the Stars. This free event starts at dusk, and each week features a different movie at a different location.
Bring a blanket or lawn chair, pack the good snacks, and settle in for a relaxed night out with family and friends. It’s a summer tradition you won’t forget, said a municipal statement.
For more fun, arrive early for pre-show roller skating at select locations. Wristbands are required and available onsite 15 minutes prior to each session.
In the case of inclement weather, movie nights will be rescheduled, the statement said..
