A much-anticipated outdoor activity is set to captivate families across Southwest Louisiana, as the Movies Under the Stars event makes its grand return for another season. This popular series offers a delightful way to embrace the vibrant spring weather while enjoying some favorite films under the night sky.

This year's schedule promises variety and excitement, with screenings taking place at various picturesque locations throughout Calcasieu Parish. Each Friday evening in April 2025 will feature a different animated film, each carefully selected to entertain audiences of all ages. The events kick off on April 4 at Prien Lake Park with an enchanting musical tale, followed by adventures involving superheroes, mischievous rabbits, and beloved lions, held respectively at Mallard Junction Park, McNeese State University’s grounds, and River Bluff Park.

Gathering together for these cinematic experiences fosters community spirit and creates lasting memories. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, bring along their own seating arrangements, and enjoy snacks from home or complimentary treats provided at the venue. In case of unfavorable weather conditions, updates regarding cancellations will be promptly shared via official channels. Through such initiatives, local authorities not only promote family bonding but also highlight the charm of regional parks, reinforcing the value of communal celebrations amidst nature's beauty.
