Family-friendly Fulton fall festival to feature ‘The Lion King’

Disney’s upcoming film journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow

If you don’t like fall and you don’t like the remake of “The Lion King” then maybe you like popcorn.

Should one or all of those things speak to you, then know that the city of South Fulton is holding a fall family festival on Saturday.

The city said Thursday that there will be food trucks, live entertainment, trick-or-treating and a youth costume contest. Moviegoers should expect free popcorn and drinks.

For those who have no idea what is happening: Disney remade the 1994 animated classic “The Lion King” about a lion becoming a king.

In the new version, Simba is voiced by Stone Mountain's Donald Glover.

Forbes reported in September that the film had brought in $1.6 billion on the worldwide market.

The festival will be held at Welcome All Park, 4255 Will Lee Road, starting at 3 p.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. The movie begins at 6 p.m.

And a movie might be a good idea Saturday. Channel 2 Action News predicts a 40% chance of rain that day.
