Free double feature drive up movie event, presented by Union County’s Board of County Commissioners and in partnership with Plainfield Public Schools
Union County, NJ – The Union County Board of County Commissioners would like to invite all residents to a double feature drive up movie event on October 1st featuring Ferdinand and In the Heights in Plainfield High School’s parking lot, 950 Park Ave.
The parking lot will open at 5:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 6:00PM.
The event is free, but pre-registration is required at ucnj.org/reserve. Please keep in mind that only one registration is required per car.
“We are all excited for this double feature event in Plainfield,” said Commissioner Chairman Alexander Mirabella. “This event is a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the entire family.”
Ferdinand is a 2017 computer-animated comedy adventure film based on a bull named Ferdinand who refuses to participate in bullfighting but is forced back into the arena where his beliefs are challenged when he faces off against the world’s greatest bullfighter.
In the Heights is a 2021 musical drama film based on the well-known stage musical. This film tells the story of a corner in the predominantly Dominican Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City, where every member of the community pursues their dreams of a better life.
The event will be shown on a weather-permitting basis. In case of bad weather, the rain date will be October 15th.
Food and drinks will not be available for purchase, but attendees may bring their own refreshments. Alcohol is strictly prohibited.
