The City of Ocala Recreation and Parks Department will continue its 2023 “After Dark in the Park” movie series this week with a free screening of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Encanto.
The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 14 at the Mary Sue Rich Community Center at Reed Place, which is located at 1821 NW 21st Avenue.
Encanto is a PG-rated animated film that tells the tale of a family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift – every child except Mirabel.
When Mirabel discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, she realizes that she might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.
