Summer Movie Series for Families -FREE & Cheap!

By Amie Esposito, Publisher, Canton-Woodstock-Cumming Macaroni Kid July 24, 2015
Summer is here and one of the fun things we like to do as a family in the summer is the FREE Summer Movie Series that many theaters run all summer long in the mornings. Especially on those rainy days, lazy days or just the days when you don't feel like melting in the sun. 

Theaters fill up fast so families are encouraged to show up early and grab their seat. Most theaters will open one hour prior to showtime to purchase your tickets & concessions if you choose and find your seat. If you have questions please contact the theater itself for more information. And always be sure to check the website links for any potential viewing changes.
