Maybe you’ve memorized every line and every melody of this movie. Maybe you’ve spent the last few months trapped in some underground tunnel, or you were on loan to an intergalactic alien museum as an earth specimen, and you just haven’t managed to see it yet. Either way, you can come watch one of Disney’s most successful films of all times for free this Saturday. Pack a snack or grab some dinner from a vendor so you can munch while you’re spirited away to the colorful, song-filled, magical world of Frozen.
Admission FREE!

Dodging Zombies on a night ride
|
|
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Well, don’t. That would be cheating. Just start pedaling. This twelve hour mountain bike endurance race will put your durability to the test. It lasts all night long and requires participants to affix lights to their bikes. If you’re a spectator tagging along for moral support, or just watching the pretty lights zoom by, then the event is free. Bear in mind that this event has the word “zombie apocalypse” in the title, so it’s safe to assume there will be a few surprise undead visitors present.
