Grown Up Movie Night Could Come To Waukesha

WAUKESHA, WI— The City of Waukesha Common Council will consider a contract between the city and Mob Craft Beer Inc. for beverage services at Cutler Park for the Grown-Up Movie in the Park event on August 19.

The Common Council meets at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Waukesha Parks, Recreation & Forestry is planning a new event, Grown Up Movie in the Park at the Les Paul Performance Center in Cutler Park. The event includes concession service beginning at 5:30 p.m., a DJ playing 70’s music and a showing of the movie “Saturday Night Fever” (rated PG), according to online city documents.

For enhancement of the event, staff is requesting approval of the contract to allow Mob Craft Beer Inc. to sell beverages, including fermented malt beverages, during the event. Proceeds from the sales benefit the movies in the park programming, the documents said.

Alternatives include not allowing beverage sales during the event, which staff said could adversely affect attendance and success of the new event.

Movies in the Park events are funded by sponsor dollars. The Monday Night Movies in the Park events have focused on family and children’s movies.

Movie series costs include artists, equipment rental, and promotion.

Mob Craft Beer Inc. will pay a fee of $1,000 to be the exclusive beverage vendor the Grown-Up Movie in the Park event, the documents said.
