Enjoy Free "Tom and Jerry" Movie Under the Stars, August 10

Free outdoor movies are presented in Union County parks this summer on a walk-in, sit-down basis; no pre-registration required.

The Union County Board of Commissioners would like to invite all residents to join us at the next outdoor movie night in Union County’s “Family Fun and Flix” series. The series continues with Tom and Jerry on August 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Warinanco Park in Roselle.

“Tom and Jerry” is a live action/computer animated film based on the nostalgic characters introduced to the world in the 90s. Released earlier this year, the film follows a mouse, Jerry, and his adventures at a fancy hotel in New York City, as a cat, Tom, tries to exterminate him before his presence threatens the hotel.

“Free outdoor summer movies are a favorite family tradition in Union County, and we are very proud to continue the series this year,” said Commissioner Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
