Movie nights are back in the Heights!
The Heights is open and you’re free to get up and move about the community.
There is no greater evidence of that than the return of Movie Nights in the Heights.
On Saturday, June 26 at dusk, 8:30 p.m. or so, we will be showing Toy Story 4 at Tower Park, central Illinois’ go-to place for fun and frivolity. The film is free and popcorn is available for purchase, so come join Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang for an evening of pure joy.
Come one, come all with the kids in tow and join us for this family-friendly event.
No doubt about it, the Heights is the place to be in this Summer of 2021. We’ll see you there!
