This week’s Free Kids Summer Movie at the Illinois Theater is A Minecraft Movie showing Wednesday–Friday at 1 PM and Saturday at 10 AM.
The Illinois Theater’s summer series features free family movies all season long with showings Wednesday–Friday at 1 PM and Saturdays at 10 AM in downtown Jacksonville. This week’s lineup is a fun one for kids who’ve spent the last few years building worlds, fighting creepers, and talking almost entirely in Minecraft references.
It’s also a great excuse to spend an afternoon downtown, cool off in the theater, and enjoy one of Jacksonville’s iconic historic venues during the summer season.
The full lineup includes everything from throwback favorites to newer family films throughout the summer, so keep an eye on the Illinois Theater’s page for upcoming movies and additional showtimes. 🎬✨
