 Mt. Kisco, NY - Summer Movie Madness, Westchester County’s popular beach and pool party series, continues on Tuesday, July 29 with a showing of Flushed Away (PG, 2006) at Willson’s Waves in Mount Vernon.
Back by popular demand, these after-hours pool and beach parties offer fun for all ages with an old-fashioned barbecue, an outdoor movie, and swimming at 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 event 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 age 3. A Westchester County Park Pass is not required for admission to the event. Admission wristbands go on sale at the pool at 10 a.m. July 29 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 continues with a showing of Surf’s Up (PG, 2007) on Tuesday, August 5, at Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers; and concludes with Transformers (PG-13, 2007) on Friday, August 22, at Tibbetts Brook Pool in Yonkers. Swimming will be allowed at these events.
Flushed Away follows Roddy (voiced by Hugh Jackman), a decidedly upper-crust "society mouse" who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington, UK flat. When a sewer rat named Sid (voiced by Shane Richie) comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the "whirlpool." Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratropolis. From the same studio that produced the Wallace & Gromit series, this movie has something for people of all ages.
“Summer Movie Madness” is sponsored by Westchester County Parks.
Willson’s Waves is located on East Lincoln Avenue in Mount Vernon and can be reached via the Hutchinson River Parkway.
