Get ready to catch a wave of excitement, Disney fans! The beloved 2016 animated adventure “Moana” is making a splash at the Donner Aquatic Center in Columbus, part of the Columbus Parks and Recreation Department’s innovative Movies in the Park series. This magical evening on July 26 promises a delightful experience as the sun sets and the starry sky mirrors the vast ocean Moana bravely travels.
Located at 739 22nd St., the Donner Aquatic Center is aptly chosen for this screening. “Moana,” a film that celebrates the spirit of the ocean, adventure, and self-discovery, fits perfectly with the aquatic ambiance. This event marks a unique twist as it moves away from the usual downtown Mill Race Park setting to give families a refreshing poolside viewing experience.
Families are encouraged to bring their floaties and deck chairs. With a 26-foot inflatable screen as the canvas for this Oscar-nominated tale, attendees should prepare for a captivating journey where Moana, alongside the charming demigod Maui, discovers her true potential and the essence of leadership.
The event is open to the first 450 attendees, so early arrival is advised. While popcorn might miss the cut—since, as the organizers say, it doesn’t mix well with pools—Miss Rachel’s Neat Treats will provide delicious snacks for purchase. Past screenings have drawn sizeable crowds, and expectations are high for this event, promising a night of memorable family fun.
The Columbus Park Foundation continues to support these community-centric film showings, with the following Movies in the Park entries lined up: “Shrek” on August 17 and the anticipated “Inside Out 2” on October 5. So mark your calendars and join the magic!
