Residents and the wider community enjoyed the first free, outdoor movie event in Merrifield earlier this month.

An estimated 1,000 people relaxed under the stars to watch 3D animated Disney movie, Zootopia.

Merrifield Community Development Manager Tennille Bradley-Ow said the night was a great success.

“It was wonderful to see residents come together and enjoy the evening.”

The park was filled with food trucks, live music and family fun, and the array of movie snacks on display was impressive!

The Summer Sessions: Movies and Music series was sponsored by the Hume City Council and Merrifield and included seven movie sessions across the region. See our gallery here.
