 Mt. Kisco, NY - A group of precocious penguins from Antarctica will go in search of “the perfect wave” when “Summer Movie Madness,” Westchester County’s popular beach and pool party series, takes over Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers on Tuesday, August 5, during a showing of the popular animated flick Surf’s Up (PG, 2007).
Back by popular demand, these after-hours pool and beach parties offer fun for the family with an old-fashioned barbecue, an outdoor movie, and swimming at all the pools. The fun begins with an all-you-can-eat barbecue of hot dogs, hamburgers, salad and more. Enjoy a dip in the pool and swim under the stars, or just float in a big tube as you watch the movie on a big screen at sundown. Bring your own blankets and chairs for seating on the lawn.
The party begins at 7 p.m.; the barbecue runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; the movie begins at sundown.
Admission is $10 per person, free for children under the age of 3. A Westchester County Park Pass is not required for admission to the event. Admission wristbands go on sale the day of the party and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. In case of rain, the event will be cancelled.
The series concludes with Transformers (PG-13, 2007) on Friday, August 22, at Tibbetts Brook Pool in Yonkers.
Surf’s Up follows a teenage rock hopper penguin named Cody Maverick (voiced by Shia LaBeouf) from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's nothing but a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. Young Cody is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of Big Z (voiced by Jeff Bridges), a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans (voiced by Diedrich Bader), isn't just about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight.
“Summer Movie Madness” is sponsored by Westchester County Parks.
Sprain Ridge Pool is located on Jackson Avenue in Yonkers and can be reached via the Sprain Brook Parkway.
