Public Casts a Record 5,500 Votes for Sail-In Cinema

A record 5,500 votes were cast by the public to bring a tale as old as time, an archaeologist with a knack for adventure and a young misfit to Sugar Beach on August 17-19 for the seventh annual Sail-in Cinema film festival.

While voters faced a difficult decision with so many great movies to choose from, a clear favourite emerged as the new live-action Beauty and the Beast movie took top spot and set a new record for most votes cast for a single movie. The following three favourites will play on a four-story, two-sided, floating screen anchored in Lake Ontario:

Edward Scissorhands on Thursday, August 17
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark on Friday, August 18
Beauty and the Beast (2017) on Saturday, August 19

While Sail-In Cinema™ is a free event, there is limited seating on the landside and entry is subject to availability of space. Boat mooring will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-stop activities, food and entertainment will once again be offered by event sponsors prior to the start of each night’s feature film to provide a full evening of fun for all ages. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. each night with the film starting at approximately 8:00 p.m.
