On Saturday, Sept. 12, City Park will hold a showing of the classic movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” on the Needle Hall stage at City Park. There will be outdoor seating marked off to ensure social distancing as well as a limited amount of parking spaces available to view the movie from cars if people wish to. Those not in their cars are expected to follow the State of Ohio mask order. The movie will begin at approximately 8:15 p.m.
This is the rescheduled date from the one originally planned for Aug. 28 that was postponed due to inclement weather. Should this date experience inclement weather that forces the movie to be postponed again, an announcement will be made on Facebook at www.facebook.com/bgparks.rec on the cancellation as well as details about the rescheduled date for the following weekend.
Outdoor seating spaces are limited to ensure social distancing and parking spaces are limited to secure social distancing and ensure unobstructed views to the screen so please arrive early to secure your spot as that parking lot will be closed off once it is full. If you are planning on watching the movie on outdoor park benches, please park in a different lot in the park to ensure the viewing spaces for those who plan to view from their car.
This event is made possible through funding of several organizations including grants from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Foundation and the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Foundation.
