Marietta Movie Night takes place on Friday, September 11, 2009 at Laurel Park. The event is part of “A September to Remember” in association with Marietta’s 175th Anniversary. The featured movie is Night at the Museum 2 starring Ben Stiller. The outdoor movie starts at dark, but be sure to get there early to enjoy a picnic or a visit to the duck pond.
Before the movie, there will be plenty of kids’ activities provided by Miss LaLa’s Treehouse, including face painting, spin art, a bouncy castle, and more. Food vendors including Rita’s Ice Custard Happiness, Chick-Fil-A, and Mellow Mushroom will be open throughout the event.
Just before movie time, join Marietta Police Chief Dan Flynn and Fire Chief Jackie Gibbs for a balloon release and tribute honoring the victims and heroes of 9/11.
