Enjoy Finding Nemo in Ridge Park

Happy August! Start the new month off right with a free movie with the family.

The 19th Ward Youth Foundation and the Chicago Park District are showing a total of seven different movies in parks throughout the ward this summer.
This week's free movie, which starts at sundown tonight, is 2003's Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature: Finding Nemo. Folks are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, bug spray and loads of blankets, as tonight's temperature may dip below 70 degrees.

Pixar plans to release a sequel to Finding Nemo in 2015 called Finding Dory, so if you haven't seen the original, now's your chance to enjoy it for free.
