Mark your calendar for the last Thursday of each month for “Movie Night” at Town Square. The “Jury Bar” and snacks will be served in the former, historic courtroom-cum-ballroom that seats up to 200 people. Movie Night is a partnership with Freeland, which has held the international Freeland Film Festival each year in Green Lake. Now the fest will expand into a monthly showing of a featured film at Town Square and on the virtual platform “Eventive”. The usual weekend fest, which was last held in Green Lake in September 2021 and Bangkok, Thailand in January 2022, will return soon too.

Freeland’s curated list of exciting films will start playing in September, while July and August’s showings will be a warm-up of “movies just for fun,”. The first monthly film on Thursday, July 28th will be the classic from 1986, “Top Gun” featuring Tom Cruise and a star-studded cast, and voted the top aviation film of all time. Who remembers the famous line "I feel the need, the need for speed."? With the annual EAA going on at this time, Town Square and Freeland thought this film would be appropriate with all the planes flying overhead.

In addition...Freeland will invite a real Top Gun to the event, Mark Webb, who has flown planes all his adult life to fight another kind of enemy: poachers. Webb, a former US Special Agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service, will join the crowd for a few moments before the show starts. He is also a serving wildlife protection instructor for Freeland. Doors open at 5:30 pm Film to begin at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $5.00 at the door. Come join the fun!
