Wilshire Park is dear to a lot of people and groups for different reasons——beautiful trees, a dog run, playgrounds, a jogging path, athletic field, picnic areas, etc. Add to that: “open-air movie theater”. For the past couple of years, BWNA and Alameda Neighborhood Association (ANA) have co-sponsored a “Movie in the Park” event in collaboration with Portland Parks and Recreation. However there’s more to it than just the showing of a movie. “Danny Black” and “Portland Teen Idols” will provide theatrical and musical entertainment prior to the movie, food vendors will be on site, and all-you-can-eat popcorn will be free of charge!
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, July 12th, on the athletic field lawn at the west end of the park, with a starting time of 6:30pm. “Cars 2” is the feature movie and will begin showing a little after dusk. Mark it on your calendar now and come join in on the fun
