Details
Bring a chair or blanket, food and beverages and prepare to be dazzled by this PG-rated film. (We think it's going to be pretty "Popular"!) We've got some spellbinding treats planned for the evening: "Glinda" will be at the park from 6:30-7:30 p.m., and we'll have a "Wicked"-themed photo backdrop (courtesy of Petaled Pail & Co.) for some mesmerizing Instagram-worthy photos!
And to make it even more special, we're partnering with some Edwardsville businesses to conjure up more fun! Visit our terrific event partners to see what delights they've concocted to enjoy at their locations (or for carryout)!
