Many attendees love to pack a picnic and enjoy the park. But for those less adventurous, the Garden Bistro, located in the Magnolia Building, will sell dinner, snacks & drinks. Of course, you can’t have a movie without popcorn, so snack vendors will also be available on site with popcorn, drinks, and other confections. We would also encourage you to grab some takeout from your favorite local downtown restaurants before the film.

Pics on the Promenade is the brainchild of Justin Wilson, Joe O’Brien Rob Tritton, Jim Carlton, & Adam Davidson. Reminiscent of their memories of outdoor movies in amazing cities like Washington DC, New York & Atlanta, they wanted to bring the outdoor movie experience to downtown Lakeland.

The event is truly designed by and for the community. Without the work our event organizers, the City of Lakeland and NFocus, and the generosity of our evening sponsors, this event would never be possible.

Pics on the Promenade is held in Lake Mirror Park, the ideal venue for this event. With Downtown Lakeland as its backdrop, a children’s park next door, and art displays on site, the atmosphere is perfect. Our event is the perfect opportunity to be with your family, friends, and neighbors and see Hollywood’s greatest movies on the big screen again.

We hope to see you there!
