2014 Salisbury Movies at the Park – Fun Free Family Entertainment

Salisbury Movies at the Park 2014 Calendar

Find the 2023 schedule of free movies in Salisbury by clicking here.

NOTE:

*I just got notification (5/30) that due to weather conditions, the Frozen movie will be shown on Saturday, May 31 at 9:00 instead of the originally scheduled Friday date.

**It looks like they've had another change in dates due to rain. The Despicable Me 2 movie will be shown on Saturday, June 14 at 9:00 rather than the originally scheduled Friday date.

***Three for three so far in 2014. The Wizard of Oz movie will be shown on Saturday, June 28 at 9:00 rather than the originally scheduled Friday date due to expected rain.

****The August 8 movie (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 has been moved to an undetermined date due to rain). I'll post an update when I see one on their official web site. Ugh - tough year for these Friday night movies, but thanks so much to the Rowan County recreation folks for giving up so many Saturdays to provide these fun family opportunities. 

Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department is offering their popular movies in the park again in 2014. Folks from all around bring blankets and lawn chairs as they prepare to watch movies under the stars at City Park, located at the corner of W. Miller and Jackson Streets in Rowan County, North Carolina.

The movies start at 9:00 p.m. Admission is free; concessions are sold at the park during the event.

Some people come early to enjoy the lake, memorial, playgrounds, and walking trails. The recreation department might even offer some music or trivia contests for the early birds. I joked around with some of the people who work for Salisbury Parks and Recreation and asked if they had a deal going with the One in charge of weather. I don't think any of their movies got rained out in 2013, which is really saying something because it seemed to rain about every day that summer.

Here is the published schedule for the 2014 calendar of Salisbury Movies at the Park according to the Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department web site:

May 30
Frozen*
June 13
Despicable Me 2**

Free Movies in 2013 at City Park in Salisbury NC

2013 Schedule of Free Movies at City Park in Salisbury NC
Looking for a fun family activity where you can enjoy the great outdoors? City Park, near Rowan Regional Medical Center at 316 Lake Drive in Salisbury, is hosting free movie nights on the lawn at Club Drive and Jackson Street on select Friday evenings.

The movies are scheduled to start at 8:45 p.m. with a pre-movie beginning at 8:00 p.m. Before catching the movie, families might want to take a stroll through the walking trails, browse the Patriots Flag Concourse and Memorial, or play in the recently updated playground. Hurley Park, across the street from the lake, offers some amazing photo opportunities along the walking trail with a nice variety of flowers and trees and two gazebos. My girls also love to check out the ducks and geese and look for the great blue heron that one can often see perched on the island in the middle of the lake.

Here are the dates and movies scheduled for 2013:

5/31
Brave
6/14
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
7/12
The Lorax
8/2
Madagascar 3
