This summer's Family Kite Festival may have long since past, but there's still plenty of reasons to glide your way over to Gift of Wings' neck of the woods – particularly for its free summer movie series, continuing to roll film with its 2024 lineup this Saturday.
Hosted in Veterans Park across several Saturdays throughout the season, Gift of Wings' summer movie series invites movie lovers of all ages to watch some of Hollywood's most recent family-friendly blockbusters on its big screen under the stars. The free films begin around dusk in the park, with popcorn for cinematic snacking sold for just $1 along with other food and drink options available for purchase.
This year's big-screen slate continues on with:
- Saturday, Aug. 17 – "Barbie"
- Saturday, Aug. 24 – "Wonka"
- Saturday, Aug. 31 – "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire"

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
