The city of Snoqualmie has announced that it will sponsor 10 “Movies & Music in the Park”events starting July 2, with a 9:30 p.m. showing of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.”

The action follows the city Parks Department’s successful hosting of two movie events last summer.

Parks and Public Works Director Dan Marcinko said the increase in events is because “We want these events to be about family’s spending time together, in their own ‘back yard.’ The city’s goal is that parents have something to do in Snoqualmie with their kids, for recreation.”

All of the events will be free of charge and open to the public. Movies will be shown on a 70-foot screen at Snoqualmie Community Park adjacent to the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA.

Concerts, which include two 16-piece bands, will be in the amphitheater space at the intersection of Southeast Ridge Street and Center Boulevard Southeast.

Movies will start at or around dusk. Concerts will begin at 6 p.m.
