A beloved summer tradition returns Friday, as the community gathers for a free Market and Movie in the Park evening.
The evening begins with an outdoor market at Civic Memorial Park Sept. 5, featuring local vendors and food trucks, giving attendees the chance to shop, dine, and enjoy the park before the movie begins.
Then, at approximately 7:40 p.m., the feature film The Princess Bride will light up the screen under the stars, presented by Tourism Vernon and MLA Harwinder Sandhu.
“We love bringing people together for these kinds of events,” says Mayla Janzen, market coordinator. “It’s a chance to remember a classic movie together, and I'm pretty sure this one is the reason our generation is afraid of quicksand.”
Despite being relocated this season to Civic Memorial Park, the Polson Artisan Market has worked with the City of Vernon recreation department to turn the space into an excellent movie-watching location.
The event is free to attend and family-friendly.
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, and friends to enjoy an evening of community and cinema.
