The City of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department is rolling out its 2025 Movie Series, with free outdoor movie screenings set to light up your summer nights. The wholesome lineup, which includes family favorites like "Wicked" and "Moana 2," will take place at the downtown spot of 302 S. Main St., starting June 14 and running through September 20.
Remember to mark these dates as the events are "select Saturdays" throughout the selected months, providing a prime opportunity to chill and catch a flick under the stars with family and friends, but there's more to be aware of, Parents with young children should note that PG-13 films will be included in the mix, listed as having content that may not suit kids under 13, so it's best to do a quick content check before heading out, according to the City of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department.
The series promises a diverse selection, from the magic of "Wicked" to the adventures of "Transformers One," and even a nostalgic trip with "Beetlejuice" on offer for those looking for a throwback to Tim Burton's unique style of whimsy. The official announcement includes high-profile titles such as "Mufasa: The Lion King" and "Captain America: Brave New World," ensuring there's something for every taste.
Anticipation for the animated spectacle "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim," which rounds off the movie evenings in September, is especially high, but if enchanting fantasies aren't your thing, the revised classic "Snow White" may just draw you into its updated fairy-tale world. Regardless of your choice, remember the schedule is susceptible to change due to weather or other unpredictable events, so keep your eyes peeled.
