There’s nothing “plain” about this experience! The backdrop of a summer night sky is the perfect setting for spending time with the family, while enjoying entertainment in the park. That’s what makes Pictures on the Plains at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds and Park (25690 E. Quincy Ave.) in Aurora so special. It’s an opportunity to enjoy a family-friendly movie under the stars.
