If you've never watched a movie outdoors underneath the trees and the stars, you're missing out on a cool experience. The City of Tyler Parks and Recreation Department is giving East Texas families a chance to experience it and share the memories with 'Movies In The Park'.

The 2023 Spring Movies In The Park series will kick off Saturday, April 29th with a free showing of "Minions: Rise Of Gru" and conclude Saturday, May 27th with a showing of "Luca". These movies and more will be shown on the big screen at the Bergfeld Park Amphitheater in Tyler and the final movie in the series will be shown at Fun Forest Pool in Tyler.

Movies In The Park Spring 2023 line-up:

  • Saturday, April 29th at 8:15 p.m. at Bergfeld Park - 'Minions: Rise Of Gru', rated PG

All you need to do is gather the kids, maybe some popcorn, soft drinks and other snacks - because that stuff just goes with a movie - and maybe a blanket to spread out on the ground or cover up with and just enjoy the show. Of course these times and showing are all weather dependent. If incliment weather is in the forecast Tyler Parks and Rec may reschedule for an alternate showing.
