After the picnic and race, spread out a blanket on Mount Bayside for an outdoor showing of Ghostbusters.

The 2026 Movie on the Hill begins at 7:15 p.m. Families should consider bringing blankets, lawn chairs and an extra layer for the cooler evening temperatures.

A few movie snacks wouldn’t hurt, either. Who you gonna call when the popcorn runs out?

Parking and Arrival Tips

Event parking will be available at Ellsworth Park. Bike racks will be located at Village Hall.

Accessible parking will be available along Regent Road and should be accessed from Brown Deer Road.

Families planning to attend the picnic, participate in Five and Wine and stay for the movie may want to arrive early, park once and bring everything needed for both the afternoon and evening. A blanket, portable chairs, water and warmer clothing for after sunset will make the full-day experience more comfortable.
