The Madison Parks and Madison Mallards are teaming up to host the Moonlight Movie Series celebrating the Madison Parks Foundation's 10 years supporting our community's parks. Join us throughout the summer and early fall for outdoor screenings of family-friendly movies, sponsored by Zimbrick Honda. Bring your family and a blanket out to the parks to enjoy the warm summer nights and classic family movies on an inflatable screen.

"The Moonlight Movie Series is a great way to celebrate all of the support our community has received over the past 10 years from the Madison Parks Foundation," says Kevin Briski, Parks Superintendent. "We enjoyed kicking off this movie series this winter with the showing of Miracle at Tenney Park and are excited to continue the series throughout the year."

The location for each movie varies throughout the summer and fall. Movies will be shown at Olbrich Park Beach and Garner Park, as well as Goodman Pool and the Duck Pond at Warner Park.

Thanks to the sponsorship by Zimbrick Honda, all of these events are free (unless otherwise indicated) and open to the public. Bring your favorite blanket, settle in under the stars, and enjoy all the great movies coming throughout the summer and fall!
