Come enjoy a free movie at Gibson Park in Great Falls on Friday, August 16, 2024.

The film is called “Suddenly Family,” a family-friendly film starring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne as parents who adopt three siblings.

The event will begin around 7pm, and the film will start near the bandshell as soon as it is dark enough.

The movie is free, so grab a lawn chair or blanket and spend an evening under the stars with the family in the park.

The event also includes fun activities for children, including face painting (7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.).

Snacks can be purchased at the Snack Shack.
