For a movie series that starts at twilight, it is appropriate that Movies in the Park kicks off the 2013 season tonight in Riverfront Park with the 2011 hit film Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1. The fourth in the vampire/werwolf saga, it is directed by Bill Condon.

The film stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Anna Kendrick, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed.

Movies in the Park is a free outdoor movie series in Little Rock’s River Market. They take place at the First Security Amphitheatre. The mission of Movies in the Park is help foster a sense of community and enjoyment in downtown Little Rock and throughout Central Arkansas by bringing people together to enjoy a movie in a unique setting along the scenic banks of the Arkansas River.

Movies start at dark. Visitors are welcome to bring picnics but please no glass containers and pick up afterwards. Those choosing not to bring their own picnic, the park does have concessions available for sale.

Bring bug spray, picnic and family and have a good time!

The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau Technical Services department provides all the equipment for the movies.
