Step into a world of pure imagination! Brooksville Main Street is delighted to invite families, dreamers, and film lovers to the enchanting summer showing of beloved classic, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
On Saturday, July 11th, 2026, Hernando Park will transform into a whimsical wonderland for an unforgettable evening under the stars. We invite the community to gather their "Golden Tickets" and join us for the timeless journey of Charlie Bucket as he explores the fantastical secrets of the world’s most famous chocolate factory.
The magic begins long before the opening credits. Local favorite DJ Shalamar will be on-site to host a "sweet" lineup of pre-movie festivities, including:
The Golden Ticket Hunt: Arrive early and keep your eyes peeled! Lucky winners will snag special prizes hidden throughout the area.
Wonka-Inspired Costume Contest: Show off your creativity! Whether you're a dapper Willy Wonka or a spirited Oompa Loompa, we want to see your best factory-inspired attire.
Candy-Dash Relay & Games: High-energy fun for the kids, including a candy jar guessing game and several surprise treats.
Guests are encouraged to take advantage of FREE downtown parking and enjoy a leisurely stroll through our historic district to support Brooksville's wonderful local restaurants and shops before heading to the park.
Pro-Tips for Attendees:
Seating: Bring your comfiest blankets and lawn chairs to secure a perfect spot on the grass.
Eats & Treats: Local food vendors will be on-site with delicious offerings. To support our local partners, we kindly ask that you leave outside coolers at home.
