“If there’s something strange,
In your neighborhood,
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
If there’s something weird,
And it don’t look good,
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
I ain’t afraid of no ghost.”
If you “ain’t” afraid of no ghost, consider a date night or family outing to Fairmount Cemetery (430 S. Quebec), considered to be Denver’s most historic cemetery, for free movie nights on Saturday, July 12, and Aug. 16. In addition to free admission, there will also be free popcorn.
The deets:
* Gates open at 8 p.m., and the movies will begin at dusk (approximately 8:30 p.m.), weather permitting (if there is a possibility of bad weather, contact Fairmount at 303-399-0692 to confirm).
* The July 12 movie will be “Monsters Inc.,” and the movie on Aug. 16 will be “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (the original, starring Gene Wilder).
* For folks who might want more than popcorn, food truck vendors will also be at the cemetery to sell snacks. People can also bring their own food (alcohol is not permitted).
* The movies will be shown outdoors, so people are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs.
* More information is available by calling Fairmount at 303-399-0692.
The free movie nights are another example of the active role Fairmount is taking to reacquaint Denver with the classic, friendly and historic cemetery grounds. When Fairmount was originally established – 124 years ago – it was a favorite gathering place for the people of Denver, who would enjoy picnics, celebrations and other outings with friends and family.
Fairmount will celebrate its 125th anniversary next year. More information at www.fairmount-cemetery.com.
