The Office for Community Wellness (OCW) for the Town of New Paltz, in partnership with Historic Huguenot Street, The Margaret Wade Lewis Center, Elting Memorial Library, and the Ulster Prevention Council, is happy to announce the next in its series of FREE outdoor movies will be Disney Pixar’s Luca, showing on Saturday, August 3, 2024.

In addition to the movie, the “Town of New Paltz’s 4th Annual Community BBQ” will take place at the same time. The BBQ will include hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers and more! There will also be outdoor games, a bouncy house, and face painting!

The BBQ and outdoor games will start at 6:00pm, free popcorn begins at 7:45pm, and the evening’s featured presentation starts at sundown.

Our FREE summer movie series is an opportunity for the New Paltz community to come together, meet each other, and engage in a family-oriented, fun-filled event. 

This year’s series is designed to bring together community members interested in exploring and engaging in topics concerning diversity, race, and inclusion. For those wanting to take a deeper dive into these themes, “Continue the Conversation” cards will be provided for individuals to reflect upon, answer, and participate in a larger discussion either at home or in their community.

What to bring: Lawn chairs, blankets, a water bottle, snacks, and bug spray (a limited supply will be available for those who forget). Water, snacks, and bug spray are also available for purchase at the DuBois Fort Visitor Center Museum Shop, which will be open until 9:00pm.

We are excited to have the opportunity to design a program series that not only brings community together, but also gives individuals a chance to dive deeper into important topics of concern. 

We invite you to join the fun and be part of the change, as we co-create a happy, healthy, vibrant New Paltz where we can thrive together.
