MOVIES UNDER THE STARS: "The Wizard of Oz"

  • Date: 11/05/2021 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM  

“Movies Under the Stars” will return for one night only -- Friday, Nov. 5 -- with a special presentation of the 1939 classic, “The Wizard of Oz.”

The movie, originally scheduled to be shown on Oct. 1, had to be cancelled due to rainy conditions.

In this timeless classic, Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her pup, Toto, are magically transported via tornado to the Land of Oz. There, the duo makes some new friends and they all embark on an adventure to meet with the Wizard of Oz to ask for his help in sending Dorothy back home to Kansas. This movie is Rated G.

The movie will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Prien Lake Park, 3700 West Prien Lake Road, in Lake Charles.

Residents are encouraged to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs and food, but vendors will be present. Also, free popcorn and cotton candy will be served.

The event will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather. The cancellation will be announced on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s website at calcasieuparish.gov and on CPPJ’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.
