The movies come to Sizzlin’ Summer Series at Unity Square on July 24th at 8:30pm as National Treasure hits the big screen.

The first two teams to complete their hunt will walk away with prizes.
You'll be able to grab dinner from local food trucks, and load up on popcorn, cotton candy, and all your favorite movie?night snacks. Then settle in under the summer sky as you follow the clues, crack the codes, and enjoy a night of community that’s all about adventure, mystery, and finding that treasure!
On August 28, 2026 | 8:30 - 10:30 p.m.the movie Top Gun: Maverick is soars into the Sizzlin’ Summer Series at Unity Square. Before the movie lights up the screen, kids can jump into the Children’s Airplane Throwing Competition—a fun, fast?paced challenge where the top flyer takes home an amazing prize. It’s the perfect way to kick off an evening built for excitement.
You can enjoy a lineup of local food trucks along with candies, popcorn, and all your favorite summer snacks. Then settle in under the warm Bartlesville sky as we take flight with Maverick, roaring jets, and a community movie night that delivers pure summertime thrill.
