ST. GEORGE — Every second and fourth Friday, from May 22 to August 28, all are welcomed to come out to the free family movie series “Sunset on the Square” hosted by Write It Up! and the City of St. George.
At Town Square in the heart of St. George, “Sunset on the Square” is now in its seventh year providing quality family entertainment to locals and tourists alike.
Each event features a free movie in the park on a giant outdoor movie screen, games, prizes, food, face painting, water balloon challenge and dancing.
Movies will start at dusk with the fun beginning around 5 p.m. at Town Square Park, 175 E. 200 North, St. George.
“‘Sunset on the Square’ has become a staple event in St. George,” Dawn McLain, owner of Write It Up!, said. “We’re known for family-friendly fun, prizes, movies and so much more. Over the years, I have really enjoyed watching our young ‘Sunset on the Square’ fans grow up, and I look forward to seeing them throughout the summer.”
“Sunset on the Square” has been a huge success, drawing large crowds of almost 2,000 at each movie, especially special event nights such as this year’s season kickoff, nonprofit night, pioneer games and St. George chamber night.
