We love the movie theatre popcorn and recliner seats, but there’s something extra special about being under a blanket of stars when the credits roll.

This summer, in addition to hiking, swimming, and camping, enjoy a Movie on the Rise in Calgary – a family-friendly experience that shouldn’t be missed by fans of fresh air, cinema, and making memories.

Held at the natural amphitheatre on St.Patrick’s Island, Calgarians are encouraged to pack some snacks, cozy up, and then prepare to enter a world of pure imagination. 

The very best part? It’s going to be FREE to attend!

It all goes down on Thursday, August 22nd, so plan ahead and consider getting there early to snag a good spot!

This year’s film will be Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet (Dune) so we can imagine it’ll be a popular one!
