Join us for our weekly movie matinee for kids of all ages! We show a different movie every Tuesday afternoon, complete with free popcorn. All are welcome, though we recommend parents take note of the movie’s rating.

Our upcoming movie is: The Wizard of Oz

A young farm girl and her little dog are magically transported into the enchanted land of Oz via a Kansas tornado. This 1939 award-winning film classic (Best Score and Best Song Academy Awards) is a perennial favorite!
