The Super Mario Bros. Movie (PG)
If your family prefers a movie night instead of live music, this is a wonderful alternative. Watching a movie outdoors under the stars is a classic summer experience that children—and parents—will remember long after the credits roll.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets, enjoy games and activities before the movie, then settle in for a fun family film as the sun goes down.
Bring bug spray, lawn chairs or a blanket, and arrive early so the kids can enjoy the activities before the movie begins.

Concerts on the Green is one of Lake Norman’s signature summer traditions. The beautiful Village Green, the charm of downtown Davidson, and outstanding live music create the perfect setting for a Saturday evening with family and friends.
Bring lawn chairs or a blanket, enjoy dinner at one of Davidson’s excellent restaurants, then settle in on the Green for two hours of timeless Beach Boys classics.
