Grab your blanket, gather the family, and get ready for a summer night under the stars! Blockbusters at the Ballpark is Community Education’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and one of Bowling Green’s favorite family traditions.

Each movie night brings our community together at the Bowling Green Ballpark (home of the Hot Rods) for a blockbuster experience filled with fun, laughter, and purpose. Admission is free, but donations are welcome as every dollar raised stays right here in Warren County, supporting local programs that make a real difference.

Your support helps fund:
– Before- and after-school programs serving nearly 1,000 children of working parents
– Teen Angel, spreading Christmas joy to local teens in need
– Enrichment opportunities for adults
– Summer activities for kids — and so much more!

Before the movie starts, families can enjoy the playground and carousel, or toss a football and Frisbee in the outfield. The concession stands will be open with your favorite ballpark treats, and you can choose your perfect spot — bring a blanket for the outfield (no chairs, please!) or relax in the comfy box seats.

When you join us for Blockbusters at the Ballpark, you’re not just watching a movie — you’re helping build a stronger, more connected community.

If your business or organization would like to help Community Education and become a sponsor for the event, contact Joshua Smith at [email protected].
