🚀🌟 Mark Your Calendars! 🌟🚀

Get ready for an unforgettable evening under the stars as the Barkhamsted Recreation Department presents Movie Night at the Riverton Fairgrounds on Saturday, July 11th, featuring the highly anticipated How To Train Your Dragon!

Set along the beautiful banks of the Wild & Scenic Farmington River, this special community event combines a great movie, family fun, and one of Connecticut's most breathtaking settings for a summer evening you won't want to miss.

This year, as our nation honors 250 Years of Courage, Adventure, and Freedom, we are celebrating that spirit with a story about finding the courage to challenge the impossible, discovering new horizons, and proving that one person can change the world.

Join your community for a special screening of How to Train Your Dragon—a film that perfectly captures the bravery, friendship, and leap of faith that defined our nation's founders 250 years ago! Just like America's journey, Hiccup’s story reminds us that the greatest adventures begin with courage, compassion, and believing in something bigger than yourself.
