All movies will be held at Wasserman Park (on the baseball field next to the Tennis Courts). The Park is located at 116 Naticook Road, Merrimack. Movies are open to both Residents and Non-Residents and are free.

How the movies were chosen?
The Town of Merrimack is celebrating its 275th Anniversary in 2021. Since there were not many new movies released in the last year we decided to find movies that were also celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2021.
During the month of March, we held a bracket challenge and asked you to vote for your favorite movies each week. Over the span of 4 weeks we went from 32 possible movies down to our final 4. Thank you all for taking the time to vote. We hope to see you at the movies this summer!
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR
For the 6th Year in a row, we would like to thank the Lions Club of Merrimack for once again serving as a sponsor of our summer movie nights in the park!
