Information
Summit Metro Parks Foundation is excited to bring the world-class Wild & Scenic Film Festival to Akron to celebrate the beauty of nature and the importance of conservation. All proceeds benefit the Summit Metro Parks Foundation.
Join us at the 2, 2:30, 6, or 6:30 p.m. showing to celebrate nature and be inspired! Can't join us on the 21st? Purchase a virtual ticket and we will send you a link to view the films between March 21st and 27th at your location. All showings will have the same collection of films.
The 120-minute compilation will feature family-friendly, inspiring stories from around the US and the world.
Purchasing your tickets ahead of time is recommended as all in-person showings are anticipated to sell out. Tickets can only be purchased through this website and are not available at The Nightlight box office. There is no selection of seating within the theater. Please contact us in advance for information on handicapped seating. Refunds will be available until Friday, January 30 at 11:59 p.m.
The films will be shown at The Nightlight (30 N. High St., Akron), an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit movie theater dedicated to connecting our community through the shared cinema experience.
Parking can be found on surrounding streets as well as within the High Street Parking Garage.
