Residents north of Frisco warn us that The Force is strong in Downtown Celina, Texas.

Join Celina, Texas, for out-of-this-world fun at the 3rd Annual Star Wars Movie Night on the Square on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017.

This year’s Celina TX Star Wars: Movie Night event promises to be bigger and better with free family friendly favorites such as build your own lightsaber, a Padawan fitness academy, Escape from Scariff obstacle course, and photo opportunities with a movie character. There will also be several chances to win prizes by participating in the costume contest, trivia contest, and cardboard spaceship contest (build it at home and bring for judging). Plus, the event organizers have we added some new activities including Jedi mind tricks and lightsaber training.
