Movies by the Lake: Footloose
Movies by the Lake 2026 is back for another blockbuster season of outdoor entertainment, lakeside laughs, and unforgettable nights in the heart of our downtown. If you’ve been searching for the perfect summer activity, consider this your official casting call.
Looking for what to bring to set? Consider these your cue cards:
Blankets worthy of a cozy montage scene
Lawn chairs fit for a director’s cut
Snacks that deserve Best Supporting Actor
Friends who won’t spoil the ending
Security staff are present in the park during the event for your assistance if needed. Movies start at dusk! Our advice is to be in the park by 7:00pm each night.
