Movie Night
The City of Aventura is pleased to announce the upcoming Movie Night, a free, family-friendly, outdoor movie screening at Founders Park on Saturday, March 3rd, featuring the highly acclaimed film “Ferdinand”. Founders Park is located at 3105 NE 190 St. The park will open at 6 p.m. and the movie will start at 7 p.m.
Enjoy a beautiful South Florida spring evening and bring blankets and/or lawn chairs for seating. Refreshments will be available for purchase. Please remember that alcoholic beverages and pets are not permitted in the park. Free parking will be available at the Aventura Government Center Parking Garage just west of Founders Park. Moviegoers are encouraged to arrive early to park and get settled in prior to show time.
“Ferdinand” tells the story of a giant bull with a big heart. After being mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure. Set in Spain, Ferdinand proves you can’t judge a bull by its cover.
