Somewhere in Marion, we heard a tiny whisper about a movie night under the stars… and we just had to follow the sound.

On June 4th, you’ll find Pop’n&Roll’n at Founders Park serving up gourmet popcorn, rolled ice cream, and dirty sodas during the Whirlpool Summer Movie Series featuring Horton Hears a Who!

We’re excited to join Pitter Patter Paws and the Friends of the Marion County Dog Shelter for an evening filled with family fun, community spirit, and a little movie magic.

Bring your chairs, bring your blankets, and bring the people who make you smile.

Who’s joining us for a night under the stars?
