NACC Movie on the Lawn
There’s something special about a chilly December evening spent beneath the stars. Families gather with blankets and lawn chairs, the scent of popcorn filling the air as little ones giggle over frosting and sprinkles at the cookie-decorating table. As the screen lights up and The Polar Express begins, the park glows with twinkling lights and the warmth of community. It’s a night of magic, laughter, and togetherness — the kind of Christmas memory that reminds us all to believe in the wonder of the season.
