Free outdoor movie nights return to Sisters this summer! Local nonprofit Citizens4Community (C4C), in partnership with Kendall Auto Group of Central Oregon and additional local sponsors, is bringing back Let’s Watch! – a four-night outdoor movie series designed to create free and fun opportunities for neighbors to gather in some of the community’s most iconic locations.
Let’s Watch! will combine classic films with unique venues, themed activities, concessions, and opportunities to support the local community. The entire series is literally powered by Kendall Auto Group, with one our electric trucks supplying electricity for a 16-foot inflatable movie screen, speakers, and projector. Four local business sponsors have also signed on to help bring the events to life.
Each screening will begin at sundown, with doors opening one hour prior for family-friendly activities, refreshments, and time to connect with friends and neighbors.
This year’s lineup includes:
-
Friday, August 21 – Happy Gilmore at Aspen Lakes Golf Course, with support from Arends Realty Group. Doors at 7 PM, movie at 8. Attendees can enjoy pre-film golf competitions and purchase concessions from the Aspen Lakes drink cart. Additional support

“We love finding new and creative ways for community members to connect with one another,” said Kellen Klein, Executive Director of Citizens4Community. “But sometimes, we accidentally stumble onto a new tradition. Let’s Watch! was so fun last year, we felt we had no choice but to team up with Kendall Auto Group again for four more nights under the stars. We’re thrilled to be hosting another film at the airport, while also expanding to new local venues. It’s not every day you get to catch a flick on a driving range!”
Admission is free for all four film screenings. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or low-back chairs. Outside alcohol and dogs are not permitted. Concessions will be available for purchase at all venues.
