If you don't have plans for Saturday night, Downtown Lafayette has an option.

Movies in the Parc will be held tonight at Parc Sans Souci.

The feature will be Super Mario Brothers, and it's free. There will be lots of other activities, and food vendors on hand before the movie.

Food and activities will be open to the public starting at 4:30PM and the movie will begin at sundown.

Charity Lewis, Owner of Sweet Magnolia's Creamery and Presenting Host of Moves in the Parc tells KATC that is about letting families save a little money so they can put their dollar towards small businesses.

"We want to have an event one that's free for the community, free for families to come out so they can truly enjoy themselves. And for me, if you're spending 20 something odd dollars on a movie ticket, you're also going to not really be able to buy popcorn and candy and things like that. So we try to keep it free," says Lewis. "So the people that do come and watch the movie and enjoy it with their families, they're able to shop with our small business owners like our food truck owners and booth vendors and kind of give back to the community and put their money back into Acadiana."

Downtown’s Movies in the Parc is made possible by presenting sponsor, the LafayetteKiwanis, with support by CGI and Whataburger. The host sponsor, Sweet Magnolia's Creamery, helps to bring the activities and food vendors to enjoy before the show.
