Not only did thousands dance the night away at Concerts in the Park, but they also enjoyed Movies in the Park. Family-favorites such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Jumanji and The Addams Family were shown at Victoria Gardens Chaffey Town Square on Tuesday evenings and Red Hill Community Park on Friday evenings. Families were able to bring out their blankets, chairs, and picnic dinners for a free evening of entertainment with their loved ones!
