The Bensenville Park District has postponed its free outdoor screening of “Selena” to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, at Krempels Park due to inclement weather. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and their favorite movie snacks for an evening under the stars.
Based on the inspiring true story of Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, “Selena” follows the singer’s rise from performing with her family’s band to becoming one of the most celebrated Latin artists of her generation. The film chronicles her determination, close-knit family relationships and growing success before her life was tragically cut short at the height of her career.
The 1997 biographical drama stars Jennifer Lopez in the title role, alongside Edward James Olmos as Selena’s father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., Constance Marie as her mother, Marcella Quintanilla, and Jon Seda as her husband and guitarist, Chris Pérez.
The movie showing concludes the 2026 Movies in the Park series. For more information about park district activities and events, visit BvilleParks.org.
