The city asks visitors to set up their chairs after 3 p.m. on the day of the concert or movie to keep the parks open for the rest of the community during the day. “Roping off seats and chairs on the Jerisich Dock Viewing Platform is not permitted. No Tents or canopies are allowed, but small umbrellas can be used. All Gig Harbor parks are smoke, vape, and alcohol free,” according to the press release.
“Activities, entertainment and food will be offered prior to each movie, that ties into each movie theme. Such as, ‘80s costume contests, meeting adoptable pets and puppet-making. Kitsap Bank will provide popcorn, presented in partnership with PenMet Parks,” according to the Gig Harbor press release.
