With a summer full of great weather ahead in St. George, grab the family or a group of friends and enjoy the night air with Sunset on the Square every second and fourth Friday of the month at Town Square Park. This is the seventh season of Sunset on the Square, and it promises to have food, fun and family friendly movies for the entire St. George community. This Friday, June 12, the movie will be the animated “Mr. Peabody & Sherman.” Events will kick off at 6 p.m. with face painting, games, crafts, water balloons, vendors, food, music, and dancing. In addition to the movie and festivities, a drawing will be held for a family 4 pack of tickets to the Neil Simon Festival.
The first Sunset on the Square for the season on May 22 was a success and brought a lot of entertainment to kick off the season with a bang. The event featured the Stephen Wade Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Country Showdown. It was America’s largest Country music talent show and gave performers a chance to shine their talents. Girls on the Run 5K held their first annual celebration run to begin the event. Bike in Downtown was also featured to share about bike awareness and provide free bike valet for event visitors.
The featured movie on the first Sunset on the Square was “Big Hero 6.” Other movies being shown throughout the season are “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Family,” Wreck-it-Ralph” and more. Get your comfiest blanket, pack up your bag of snacks and settle in for all of the great entertainment.
“I tell people, if you haven’t been to Sunset on the Square yet, you need to go,” said Dawn McLain, SOTS owner and coordinator. “I see attendees throughout the year and they are always checking in to see when the next season will start so they don’t miss any of them!”
Looking ahead, McLain said the June 26 event will be “Nonprofit Night” and will also have astronomers in attendance with telescopes for after the movie.
“They said Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn should be visible, rings and all,” McLain said.
Be a part of Sunset on the Square twice a month and make your summer that much better. The event is held at Town Square Park at 175 E. 200 N. until Aug. 28.
