Families looking for a fun, affordable way to kick off the weekend can head up to Mt. Ashland this Friday, August 1, for a special Family Movie Night at the Karen & Sid DeBoer Lodge. The featured film for the evening is the animated family favorite Horton Hears a Who, a heartwarming tale based on the Dr. Seuss classic that celebrates imagination, kindness, and the importance of every voice—no matter how small.
Tickets are just $5 per person, making it an accessible evening out for most families, and children aged five and under can attend for free. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., giving attendees plenty of time to arrive, find a comfortable spot, and settle in for a cozy night of cinema beneath the lodge’s warm mountain charm.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets, pillows, and favorite movie-watching essentials to create a comfy atmosphere inside the lodge. With its high ceilings, rustic design, and inviting ambiance, the Karen & Sid DeBoer Lodge offers the perfect mountain setting for a relaxing and memorable family gathering.
The event is part of Mt. Ashland’s growing lineup of year-round community activities, designed to bring locals and visitors together in a welcoming and family-friendly environment. Known primarily as a popular winter destination for skiing and snowboarding, Mt. Ashland continues to expand its warm-weather programming to make use of its scenic lodge and picturesque surroundings.
Friday’s movie night offers a great opportunity for families to connect, unwind, and enjoy a shared experience away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With the film’s message of community, empathy, and looking out for one another, Horton Hears a Who is a fitting selection for an evening built around togetherness.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter of Mt. Ashland or looking for a new family tradition, this event promises an evening of laughter, comfort, and mountain charm. Tickets can be purchased at the door, but early arrival is recommended as space inside the lodge may fill quickly.
Bundle up, bring the kids, and let Horton’s whimsical world whisk you away this Friday night.
