The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department is hosting a free, monthly outdoor movie series through August at E. Carroll Joyner Park. The third in the series of Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park will feature the film “Mulan” on Saturday, July 27, at 8:30 p.m.
Each Family Movie Night also includes a movie-related pre-show activity for kids. The theme for the July 27 pre-show activity will be “Culture & Crafts!” Beginning at 7:15 p.m., children 12 and under are invited to have their names written in Chinese characters, make Chinese lanterns and enjoy a variety of crafts.
Presented by Walters Insurance Agency, Inc. and Mosquito Joe of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park feature a variety of family-friendly film favorites and genres, including comedies, dramas and thrillers, all projected on a 26-foot inflatable movie screen in the park’s amphitheater. Showtime for each event is 8:30 p.m. Anyone planning to attend is urged to arrive early as viewing space may be limited.
Family Movie Nights are free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket and/or chairs but are reminded that alcohol, smoking and unleashed pets are prohibited. Assorted food vendors will be on site selling snacks and refreshments.
