Join us for Family Movie Night in the Park

Welcome to Family Movie Night at the Dunnville Mudcat Festival!

Grab your blankets, chairs, and cozy gear—it’s time for Family Movie Night under the stars!

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Central Park as we screen the animated adventure-comedy The Pirates! Band of Misfits, a family-friendly film full of laughs, heart, and high-seas hijinks. Follow the Pirate Captain and his quirky crew as they sail from the high seas to the streets of London on a quest to win the Pirate of the Year Award—encountering scientists, rival pirates, and a whole lot of silliness along the way!
