Wild & Scenic Film Festival

The Summit Metro Parks Foundation is bringing this celebrated film festival to Akron for an afternoon celebrating nature and conservation. You'll experience a curated collection of inspiring films featuring stories from across the United States and around the globe. All showings offer the same program, so you can choose a time that works best for your family. The event takes place at The Nightlight, an independent nonprofit movie theater in Akron dedicated to fostering community through shared cinema. This is a great outing for families of all ages who enjoy nature documentaries and environmental themes. Tickets go on sale December 14, so mark your calendar if this sounds like something your family would enjoy. The best part? All proceeds support the Summit Metro Parks Foundation's mission to protect natural resources and help our community connect with nature. For questions about the festival, you can reach the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065 (Wednesday–Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Sunday 12–5 p.m.).
