Columbia County families are invited to celebrate Valentine’s Day a little early this year with a night of community magic. On Friday, February 13, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Evans Towne Center Park will transform into a festive hub for kids and parents alike, featuring an outdoor movie, professional photography, and hands-on activities.

Event Highlights Include: The Big Screen: A feature presentation of Gnomeo and Juliet. Interactive Fun: Face painting by Fancy Face Artworks and intricate balloon art by Cord Canady. Creative Crafts: A free, kid-friendly Valentine’s craft station provided by Molly Mace. Capture the Memory: A professional Valentine’s photo op by Captured by Cryslyn, perfect for family portraits or "squad" photos. Contests: Guests can test their luck at the Columbia County Events booth by guessing the number of hearts in the jar for a chance to win a prize.

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs to settle in for the movie. Admission to the park is open to the public, and the festivities begin promptly at 5:00 PM.
