Regal Entertainment Theaters- Free Family Film Festival- Free Summertime Movies


I love this time of year because summer is right around the corner. Summer time to me is all about having fun with the kids indoors and outdoors. My daughter Lauren has only 1 week left of school and I’m starting planing what we will do this summer. I remembered from last year a program that we enjoyed and one that you will not want to miss.It will keep your kiddos entertained twice a week and it is absolutely free.

The Regal Entertainment Group who own Edwards and Regal Cinemas are once again offering their summer family film festival beginning on June 16th. It is 9 weeks of free movies for kids and parents. The movies will run every Tuesday and Wednesday morning at 10am during the festival. The seating is first come, first serve- you might want to get there a bit early to make sure you get good seats.

It’s a fantastic program and I think it’s amazing that it’s absolutely free!! Click here for a list of participating theaters and start planning your summer!! Enjoy!!
