Date Night Alert: Utica Hosts Outdoor Movie

Utica will kick off its Park It Family Fun Nights with an open-air movie in Grant Park Aug. 1.

Imagine sitting under the stars in a park with your significant other, listening to classic rock and then cracking open a bag of popcorn while watching a movie on an outdoor LED screen. Sound like a good date night?

Park it Family Fun Nights are in more than 25 communities in metro Detroit. Communities who work with Park It Family Fun Nights are asked to donate used books to help the organization fill the libraries of metro Detroit with more books.
