Summer Movie Night in The Square - Casper (1995)

Bring the whānau down to The Square for a relaxed summer evening under the stars, proudly presented by Palmy BID and Palmerston North City Council.

We’ll be screening the much-loved 90s classic Casper (1995) — a heart-warming, family-friendly film about a friendly young ghost who lives in an old mansion and just wants to make friends. When a girl named Kat and her dad move in, Casper finally gets the chance to experience friendship, fun, and a bit of adventure, with plenty of laughs, gentle spooky vibes, and nostalgic charm along the way.
