Popular Rockford Event Relocates to the Coronado This Summer

One of the most popular summer events in Rockford is changing scenery as they move from Davis Park to the Coronado Performing Arts Center.

2010 was an exciting year for Rockford because Friday night Flix officially kicked off for the very first time at Davis Park in downtown Rockford.  Since then, it has been a popular gathering spot for families and friends when summer comes around.

Food trucks, fun activities for the kiddos, and finding the perfect seat to watch a free movie at Davis Park is what a lot of families look forward to at Friday Night Flix.  Well, it was just announced that they'll be relocating since Davis Park is undergoing renovations right now.

If you haven't been in the last few years, maybe this is a sign to check out how it's all going down at the Coronado!  I'm excited, a go a few times every summer when there's a movie I really want to see.

I couldn't miss Aladdin, Toy Story, or Shrek last summer!  Such iconic movies.

Can't wait to see what movies will be on the big screen this summer.  Plus, it's a free event!  Really can't get better than that.  See you at the Coronado!
