Friday's Asphalt Cinema Features Outdoor Family-Friendly Film, Games, Art, and Fun
 Bring the family for an evening of free fun on Friday, June 16. It's the first of three Asphalt Cinema events, which take place on the third Fridays of June, July, and August at Impett Park, 3180 West 153rd Street. Enjoy an evening of games and prizes starting at 6:30 p.m. followed by the family-friendly movie, Sing, shown under the stars. See the flyer, here.
Art activities take place, too, and everyone is entertained with the help of a DJ. Kids draw or color characters from the featured film and win a prize! The artistic portion of Asphalt Cinema is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
Hot dogs, cold beverages, and fresh popcorn will be available for purchase from West Denison Baseball League. The movie and the fun activities are free of charge thanks to our Asphalt Cinema sponsor, Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital and Councilman Marty Keane.
