Summer movie slate set for Twin Lakes

What started as a family-friendly activity for the community of Twin Lakes has turned into an annual summer staple.

The village announced its summer movie lineup earlier this week, the fifth year of the “movies in the park” event at the Lance Park Amphitheater.

The schedule for the movie showings, which begin at dusk in the park:

  • May 22, “Despicable Me 2”
  • June 5, “Maleficent”
  • June 19, “Heaven Is for Real”
  • July 17, “Big Hero 6”
  • July 31, “The Lego Movie”
  • Aug. 14, “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”
  • Aug. 28, “Planes – Fire and Rescue.”

The movies are free to those who attend, thanks to sponsorship of the event. The title sponsor for the fifth year is Baxter and Woodman.

“It’s definitely because of sponsorships from area businesses that we’re able to put it on,” Town Administrator Jennifer Frederick said.

The location of the park, on the shoreline of Lake Mary, helps draw people as well, Frederick said. With an inflatable screen that shows the movie on both sides, the movie draws not just visitors to the park.

“Boaters anchor along the shore and watch the movie, too,” Frederick said.

Volunteers are needed to help with set up/take down. Interested volunteers should call Village Hall (262) 877-2858 and ask for Frederick.
