Here are all the details:

• Friday, April 4, 2025 at Founders' Park (22407 S. Ellsworth Road)
• Free to attend — please register with the button below
• Free popcorn and water will be served starting around 6:30 p.m. (first come, first serve)

• Make your cardboard box car at home or at school and bring it to the event
• Don't have a cardboard box car? Bring a chair or blanket!

Cardboard Box Car Instructions

The goal of your cardboard box car is to make it as recyclable as possible — using only recyclable materials if you can! After our movie in the park, you can break down your box and toss it in your blue trash cart.

Check out this easy guide to know what is recyclable and what is not. If you use non-recyclable materials for your box car, they must be separated from the vehicle and disposed of in your trash cart.

Parking

Please park in designated parking stalls at Founders' Park, then walk with your cardboard box cars, chairs, and blankets to the multipurpose field. Vehicles will not be allowed on the grass (this is not a drive-in movie). Overflow parking will be available if there are a large number of registrants.
