The featured film is Disney's "Bedtime Stories," (PG) starring Adam Sandler. Perfect for the entire family, show time is 7:30 p.m.

This is the first time in nearly a decade that a movie has been shown at Metro Centre, since its cinema was closed eight years ago. "We are thrilled to bring back not only a Metro Centre tradition, but an American tradition," Metro Centre owner Eric Brinker said. "Many people grew up with outdoor movies, and this is a chance for them to re-live that experience. For a lot of parents, it will be a chance to show their kids what 'Movies Under the Stars' are all about."
Peorians are encouraged to visit shopmetrocentre.com for more details. Guests can also get information by following Metro Centre on Twitter at twitter.com/METROPEORIA or by becoming a “Fan” at facebook.com/shopmetrocentre.
The weekend celebration continues on Saturday, September 26th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as we kick off the fall season. There will be activities galore, including kids inflatables, an obstacle course, and a bounce house. Clowns "Patches & Rollo” will be making a special appearance and gourd painting, sand art, and other games will be offered. Be sure to hop aboard the horse drawn trolley that will run throughout the Centre.
Metro Centre gift card giveaways will take place all day and free earth-friendly tote bags will be distributed at the Peoria Farmers Market by Heart of Illinois Harvest, a local food rescue program (while supplies last with a $2 suggested donation.) The Peoria Farmers Market at Metro Centre offers the largest selection of no-spray and organic produce in the area.
Peorians have depended on Metro Centre for more than 30 years — and counting. The stores are still locally owned and operated, and their success is based on a simple, homegrown recipe — friendly faces behind the registers, a unique selection of stores and a commitment to friendly, personal service.
