"Moana" Swayed Into Movie Night In The Park In University Place City

Press release from the City of University Place:

August 24, 2021

The setting may have been Cirque Park in University Place, but there was a decidedly tropical mood in the air as families came out in droves to stake their spaces for the return of the popular summer tradition of Movie Night in the Park on Aug. 7.

Picnic blankets and lawn chairs dotted the landscape and children enjoyed the antics of a stilt walker, bouncy houses, face painting and sing-alongs. And before the evening’s feature showing of Disney’s “Moana” at dusk, the crowd moved their hips to free hula lessons from Moana herself, courtesy of the talented performers of MAGIC in the PNW—Character Parties and Events LLC, a small mother-daughter business based in University Place.

The Sugar & Spoon Food Truck was on hand to keep the crowd cool with icy treats and U.P. City Council Members were on hand to welcome the crowd and distributed free “I Love UP” stadium cushions.

This evening of free family fun and happy memories was provided by the City of University Place. View more photos in the Facebook "Movie in the Park" album.
