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

The movie is "Instant Family," a family-friendly movie featuring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne as parents who adopt three siblings.

The event will begin at about 7 p.m., and the movie will begin near the bandshell as soon as it is dark enough.

The movie is free, so grab the lawn chairs or a blanket and take the family to the park for an evening under the stars.

The event will also include fun kids’ activities including face painting (7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.).

There will be snacks available for purchase at the Snack Shack.



SATURDAY, AUGUST 17: The Junior League of Great Falls will host its annual "Touch-a-Truck" event in downtown Great Falls. The event allows kids of all ages to get up close with all sorts of big trucks and the people who operate them - fire trucks, farm and construction machinery, police vehicles, and more. The family-friendly event and fundraiser for Junior League of Great Falls begins at 9 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m. along Central Avenue from Park Drive to Sixth Street. The event will also feature kid-focused activities as well as food vendors. For more information, contact the Junior League at 406-396-5235 or info@jlofgf.org.
