Cinema on the Square, Swannanoa’s outdoor movie series, returns to Grovemont Square with a screening of Encanto (rated PG) this Friday evening, June 3. This 2021 musical fantasy comedy from Walt Disney animation studios follows the adventures of a multi-generational family whose members receive magical gifts.
The wildly popular movie soundtrack, featuring original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, reached #1 on Billboard’s Top 200. With an audience approval rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 2022 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, Encanto is not to be missed!
Grovemont Square is located at 101 West Charleston Avenue (adjacent to the Swannanoa Library) and boasts beautiful mountain views, a playground, and a large grassy area for playing games and hanging out. The movie will begin around 8:30, but come early to enjoy the pre-movie festivities starting at 7:30, including face painting, children’s crafts, and tarot card readings for adults. Popcorn and light refreshments will be available for purchase. Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy a night of free family-friendly entertainment under the stars!
Cinema on the Square is brought to you by three local nonprofit organizations — Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS), the Swannanoa Community Council, and Friends of the Swannanoa Library. For info, call the Swannanoa Library at 828-250-6486. See you at the movies!
