Kinnelon Organizes Summer Outdoor Movie Extravaganza

KINNELON, NJ – Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced towns across the United States to cancel public events this summer, many places are adapting to state-wide safety restrictions by planning outdoor, socially-distanced activities.

In Kinnelon, the local police and recreation departments have joined together to host a summer outdoor movie extravaganza. For two nights this summer – July 14 and August 12 – residents are invited to participate in a family movie night at the Kinnelon Municipal Football Field.

According to a Kinnelon Borough press release, Abominable will play at 8:30 pm on July 14, while The Greatest Showman will be displayed at 8 pm on August 12. On both nights, doors will open at 7:30 pm so that participants have time to claim their socially distanced viewing spaces.

Prior to the movie showings, residents should register for the event here. Although attending each movie night is free, viewers can also purchase $5 pre-packaged movie snack packs of water, popcorn, and a fruit treat. All attendees are encouraged to wear masks.
