Arrive by dusk for comedic shorts from the Media Film Festival, followed by The Princess Bride, the cult classic romantic comedy and adventure. 

Bring a blanket or chair, and relax under the stars (with fireflies and distant fireworks!) for this charming story of the farmhand named Westley who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup. Don’t forget to brush up on your favorite quotes from the movie!

Dine first in Media, come after your 4th of July barbeque, or bring a picnic to the park… As You Wish! The thought of missing this Movie Under the Stars? Inconceivable. 

Free and family-friendly, with some all-American apple pie from Linvilla Orchards and ice cream  from Scooped available for purchase. The Princess Bride is rated PG, and runs 1 hour 38 minutes.  County Parks rules apply, including no alcohol. Please note there is no Dining Under the Stars on July 4.
 

Presented by the Media Business Authority, Media Arts Council, and Friends of Glen Providence Park. Sponsored by Sterling Pig Brewery and Black Horse Graphics. Check out the event below and on Facebook.
 

Missing  (or curious about?) the fireworks that were in the park for decades? Read about the July 4th Fireworks & Festivities in Glen Providence Park from 1952 to 1986, including concerts and a Revolutionary War reenactment! Perhaps the Movie Under the Stars will be part of a new tradition...
 

Happy Fourth of July!
