Hundreds Enjoy The Lego Movie at Sparta’s Summer Movies in the Park Series

SPARTA, NJ – Last night, Saturday August 16, was the last movie night of the season in Sparta Township.

Hundreds of people gathered in Dykstra Park with lawn chairs, blankets and more for the final free Family Movie Night.

The movie nights are free and feature music spun by a D.J. before the show. Free popcorn is one of the treats. The Sparta Kiwanis have been to the films with refreshments for sale. Last night, an ice cream truck was also nearby. People attending also bring their own snacks to celebrate the festivities.

There was a slight chill in the air, but the weather held out for the fun with the season’s final flick, The Lego Movie.

Sparta Councilwoman Chris Quinn was at the event and helped to coordinate giveaways during the evening.
