Summer movies in the parking Lot with the Coos Watershed Association

Join the Coos Watershed Association for a brand-new summer outdoor “Movie in the Park(ing Lot)” series! All movies will be shown in the new “green” parking lot at 3rd and Central in downtown Coos Bay, which filters stormwater runoff and helps keep pollution out of the bay. Come learn about this new community gathering space while enjoying some watershed/outdoor-themed movies!

The first movie night is July 12, with an 8:30 showing of Project Wild Thing: a revolutionary, award-winning feature documentary about the fragile connection between children and nature. This is the real-life story of one man’s determination to get children outside by launching a nationwide marketing campaign. It is funny, heart-felt, ground-breaking, and family-friendly.

The summer watershed movie series continues with The Beaver Believers on August 2 (8:30 start time) and Finding Nemo on September 6 (8:00 start time) – note the date change on Finding Nemo, originally scheduled for July.

Important details:

• Arrive early to mingle and to hear a short presentation from the Coos Watershed Association about the theme of the evening.

• Bring snacks and something comfortable to sit on.

• The Frying Nemo food cart will be set up for the Finding Nemo showing, so make sure you get there early to order food on September 6!

• All movies are family-friendly, though we recommend teens and up for the documentaries.
