Shine at Movies in the Park!

Movies in the Park, the best little event on the waterfront! Each movie evening starts with live music at 7 pm followed by the movie on the big outdoor screen at dusk (usually around 8 pm). The fun takes place in North Straub Park, between 4th Ave. & 5th Ave. NE at Beach Drive. Come early and enjoy live music before the movie; enjoy a picnic or purchase food from one of the Saturday Morning Market’s favorite vendors who will be set up on-site. A limited number of folding chairs will be available, but better yet, bring your own blanket or low seat! Bicycling to movies is a fun way to arrive and free bicycle valet parking will be provided by the St. Petersburg Bike Co-Op. Free!

On May 14, SPP presents, Shine, the 1996 film starring Geoffrey Rush in his Academy Award winning role (for best actor). Rush plays an Australian pianist who has many ups & downs in life before returning to the concert hall as an acclaimed musician. The film had six Academy Award nominations!  And you will want to be sure to come early for the evening's music as the Craftsman House Gallery presents Nashville recording artist Kevin So with pedal steel great Buck Reid!
