October 18, 2023
Get ready to embark on a cinematic adventure as the City of Aventura unveils its highly anticipated Movie Night Season on Saturday, October 21st, 2023. This year's opening feature is the beloved animated classic, "The Little Mermaid." Gather your family and friends for a magical evening at Peace Park located at 3200 Northeast 188th Street Aventura, Florida 33180, where the park gates open at 6:00 p.m., and the movie magic begins at 7:00 p.m.
"The Little Mermaid" tells the timeless tale of Ariel, the spirited young mermaid who dreams of life beyond the sea. As she falls head over fins for the charming Prince Eric, Ariel makes a fateful deal with the wicked sea witch, Ursula, to experience life on land. Join Ariel on her enchanting journey as you bask under the South Florida stars. Ursula has made this Disney classic a must-see for families and fans of all ages.
The event promises a delightful evening filled with laughter, joy, and nostalgia. Guests are encouraged to bring their own food, blankets, and lawn chairs to get comfy as they enjoy this outdoor cinematic experience. For those who prefer not to pack a picnic, fret not; food trucks will be on-site to satisfy your cravings throughout the event.
Please note a few ground rules to ensure everyone's enjoyment: park rules prohibit food deliveries, alcoholic beverages, and pets. Additionally, the City kindly requests families to keep a watchful eye on their little ones for their safety and the comfort of fellow moviegoers.
To secure your spot in this enchanting evening, ticket reservations are a must. Each individual, regardless of age, must purchase a ticket priced at a mere $2. Ticket reservations can only be made online through the City's Online Registration System (ORS) at: www.cityofaventura.com/ors - The reservation grants you access to a night filled with entertainment, including dancing, a costume parade, tantalizing food options, goodie bags, exciting raffles, unique photo opportunities, and, of course, the main attraction - the movie itself.
Once you've made your reservation and completed your payment online, your tickets will be attached to your receipt. But remember, there's a small twist - you must pick up your wristbands at the Community Recreation Center before the event day. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 14th, where wristbands can be collected between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. If that day doesn't work for you, don't fret; additional pick-up times are scheduled for Wednesday, October 18th and Thursday, October 19th, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. To gain entry to the event, everyone, including children and infants, must have their wristbands securely fastened.
On the day of the event, be sure to have your wristband ready for inspection upon entry to Peace Park. The City emphasizes that tickets and wristbands are non-transferable and cannot be duplicated. Each ticket can only be scanned once, and a single wristband will be provided per scanned ticket.
As the sun sets over Aventura, the gates of Peace Park will swing open at 6:00 p.m., welcoming eager moviegoers to claim their spots and soak up the pre-show atmosphere. The main event, the screening of "The Little Mermaid," is scheduled to commence at 7:00 p.m., and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure their preferred seating.
