New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Pictures in the Park, a new outdoor movie series staged in New Bedford’s Buttonwood Park, will present its final movie of the summer with GHOSTBUSTERS on Friday, September 11, 2015. This screening is made possible thanks to the donations of movie-goers who turned out in droves to watch Sandlot in June and Goonies in July.
The movie begins at sunset (approximately 7:00); attendees are encouraged to arrive early and bring their own blankets and lawn chairs for seating. Refreshments will be available for purchase; proceeds will help fund the continuation of this series in 2016.
Pictures in the Park is coordinated by a group of city residents whose efforts are made possible thanks to the generosity of individual donors, Southcoast Health, the United Way of Greater New Bedford’s Mini-Grants program, the Southeastern Massachusetts Association of Realtors, and Joyce Lopes Realty. A partnership with the Friends of Buttonwood Park ensures that all donations to Pictures in the Park are tax-deductible, and the City of New Bedford’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Beaches has provided access to the park for this event.
The mission of Pictures in the Park is to promote New Bedford’s civic vitality and encourage the use and enjoyment of Buttonwood Park by city residents and visitors alike during the summer of 2015 and beyond.
